GRUNTRUCK Interview Ep23pt1 KASR VIDEO
This is Part 1 of 2: Mike Diablo interviews the world famous GRUNTRUCK exclusively on thier tour bus!
Kasrvnotebook: The band only released two albums and toured with Alice in Chains in Fall 1992; as well as with Pantera in Europe, 1993, who were supporting Vulgar Display Of Power. According to Sean Kinney, they were Alice in Chains' most supported band at the time, opening alongside the Screaming Trees for Alice's Dirt tour. In 1993, they ended up in a legal battle with Roadrunner Records for contract termination. Gruntruck won the case, but at heavy cost to the band. Bassist Tim Paul left and was replaced by Alex Sibbald and, following a less than stellar tour with Circus of Power, drummer Norman Scott left as well. In 1996, they resurfaced with new drummer Josh Sinder previously of The Accused to record a 3-track EP called Shot. The classic line-up reformed in the late 90's for various shows and recordings that never properly surfaced. In 2000 the band had a very successful comeback stint in the Northwest playing many shows to audiences eager for Gruntruck, however, the band disbanded permanently in 2002 leaving behind rumors of a possible album of unreleased rarities that may or may not surface in the very near future.
KASR VIDEO was a weekly 2 hour offshoot of the Arizona State University's original alternative student radio station that aired on public access in Phoenix. The music video show featured rarely scene and new music not in the "main stream." Along with non-conventional interviews it became a guilty pleasure with the midnight party crowd. This is a condensed version with the music videos edited out. For more info on ASU Student radio goto: http://www.theblaze1260.com
