RADIO MOSCOW

BIOGRAPHY

Radio Moscow is a hard/blues/psychedelic rock outfit led by guitarist/singer Parker Griggs, with Zach Anderson on bass. The band tours with a drummer, but Parker is a gifted multi-instrumentalist who usually plays the drums on the band's recordings. Griggs' sound, although heavily influenced by sixties garage music, is also channeled through the blues, with experimental breakdowns, unpredictable tempo changes, crazy rave-ups and fuzzed out psychedelic guitar work.

Their self-titled debut was released on 2007 by Alive Naturalsound Records, and was produced by The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach. There second full length - also set to be created with Dan, is set to be recorded during the summer of 2008, with an early 09 release.

The band get's really busy playin' shows with loads of fans requesting them visit their far flung global towns, only great signs eminate - Radio Moscow aptly will spend a month in CA getting to know the locals from North to South throughout the summer, then record and follow up with some Wintery easteren excursions... they then return to tour Europe in March 09, and sitting in for their US drummer will be none other than Ken Pustelnik of the legendary Groundhogs!

"Everything about Radio Moscow is unexpected. Their home base of Ames, Iowa, suggests a Midwest corn-fed Roots Rock direction while their name gives off the vibe of a twinkly, blinky Techno outfit. But neither could be further from the truth. The Blues/Rock power trio is a marvel of construction and evolution (S) At the impossibly young age of 22, Griggs is offering up the kind of psychedelic Blues tumult that Led Zeppelin, Cream and the Jimi Hendrix Experience alchemized from their own love of the Roots Blues from the previous generation. And just like Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and Hendrix, Griggs has found a potent way to reconfigure rather than merely regurgitate his Blues and Rock influences -- the bulk of them at their artistic peaks nearly two decades before Griggs was born -- in the fiery work of Radio Moscow." - Brian Baker / City Beat
