Why do we like this?

Formerly the bassist of indie darlings (yes I said that) Port O'Brien, Caleb Nichols has teamed up with longtime friend and collaborator Jameson Swanagon to form a new force in the Bay Area music scene. The Oakland based group shuns the trite and boring elements of wimpy 4/4 indie rock and instead delivers complicated, haunting, intricate music with passion and intensity.

Grand Lake's album, Blood Sea Dream, isn't as pop oriented as most other successful indie rock bands, and therefore at times more difficult to listen to, but the band's songwriting ability is always on full display.


On Thursday September 16th Indie Shuffle will be teaming up with our friends at Epicsauce.com to bring Grand Lake to Milk Bar in San Francisco. Ash Reiter, Burrows, and Sunbeam Rd. will be supporting. We're going to have plenty of details posted on the site tomorrow, and will even give you a chance to win free tickets, so stayed tuned.
