The Grimm Generation Presents ‘KICKSTART THIS!!!’: A Very Grimm Tag Sale and Music Festival – Saturday May 18th

On the 6th Day, God created Kickstarter. And it was good. But not great, ya know?

Free downloads of upcoming projects is awesome…but just doesn’t have the same allure of meeting the artist personally and bartering the price of countless Stephen King paperbacks.

In our eternal pursuit of the ‘value added’ dollar, The Grimm Generation Presents ‘KICKSTART THIS!!!’: A Very Grimm Tag Sale and Music Festival.

Saturday May 18th (Rain Date: Sunday, The 19th) at 10 AM, we open the doors to our Wonka-ish homestead and pass the savings on to you! Housewares, Books and CD’s, furniture, food (baked and not baked), lemonade and other ades, all your flea market finds all in one place.

Also for the kids, personalized Henna and face painting!

But thats not all!!! Free Grimm Generation concerts throughout the day, a Chinese Auction dedicated to Miss Carmen Champagne gig dresses and the first 300 people get a free pic lying in Asher’s grave.

All proceeds go to the ‘The Big Fame’ fund dedicated to finishing The Grimm Generation’s next CD ‘The Big Fame’ starring Lys Guillorn, Eric Bloomquist, Julie Grimm, Kerry Miller and special guest Dave Hogan.

The Spin Cycle Cafe, April 26, 2013 – A Song, A Space, An Event benefiting The Iwo Jima Foundation in Newington.

Posted on April 24, 2013 by The Grimm Generation

 

Grimm20

Real Rock and Roll moments usually happen at Brunch. As was the case one mimosaed Sunday morning in Windsor packed with thrills and chills, good food and rawk. And an idea suggested by the estimable Sawtelles : a group of songwriters get together and write on a single subject: The words ‘Spin Cycle’. And new songs were written.

Meanwhile in Newington, The Spin Cycle Cafe has been operating as a combination laundromat and hip place to get drinks and food. Drop by, wash your dainties while enjoying a drink. And catch some great local music too.

Kismet. Friday, April 26th, 2013, join The Sawtelles, Lys Guillorn, The Grimm Generation and The Tonebanks come clean at The Spin Cycle Cafe (190 Fenn Road, Newington, CT 06111) as we get together and share a night of dirty laundry and soap opera. (Pajamas encouraged)

$10 admission, all of which benefits The Iwo Jima Foundation in Newington.

The Grimm Generation Celebrates Noir Radio With “The Big Fame”

Follow The Link: http://www.ct.com/entertainment/music/shows/nm-ht12-mugrimm-0321-20130321,0,1637144.story

Carmen Champagne and Jason Krug, co-founders of local band the Grimm Generation, conceived the show as a simple, radio-ready revue. It’s since grown into a dramatic, multimedia happening, complete with food (provided by two area sponsors, Newington’s GoldBurgers Restaurant and Get Baked, a Windsor bakery), additional musicians (singer-songwriter Julie Beman’s Girlfriend Project), a narrator (Ginger Miller) and the full GG band — Krug and Champagne, Lys Guillorn (lap steel, banjo, bells and guitar), Eric Bloomquist (bass), Julie Drechsler (cello) and “Killer” Kerry Miller (drums). The show might even be broadcast over the airwaves, using the museum’s studio.
