We will travel to Moscow, Idaho, to make our live debut, on Saturday, Nov. 3!

It will be our first public performance since we relocated to Seattle and changed the identity of the band. The last time we played together was our going-away show in May in Honolulu when we were known as “The Crud.”

Since then we have retooled considerably in every phase of the game. We cannot wait to unleash the MADNESS!!!

We’ll be playing with our buddies Out From Underneath. The gig will be at John’Alley Tavern (114 E Sixth Street). If you happen to be in the area, or want to fly or drive up, come check it out! What better way to spend a vacation than visiting the great state of potatoes!

We hope to be adding more dates soon, especially in the Seattle area. But we’re still working hard to make sure everything is set before we get out there too much. This will be a great warm-up gig for us before we really make our debut on the Seattle scene.

Also, at the show, we will for the first time be selling our album, “Antidote,” hot off the press. Or, if you don’t want to fly out for the gig, you can always order “Antidote” online. Click on our “merch” page to place an order.

ROCK!!!

The song “For Tomorrow,” off of the upcoming “Antidote” album, is featured on the compilation “One Life at a Time.” It is for a really good cause, and it’s a chance to get a sneak peak at our new album. It’s also a chance to hear what Hawaii rock sounds like!

To learn more about it, check out this review of the album (you have to scroll down a little). Go to the Passout Records Web site and click on “Store” to buy the album. Proceeds go to help a kid in Peru who needs the help.

Welcome! After taking several months to relocate and retool, we are proud to announce that WE’RE BACK!!! We’ve made the big move across the Pacific Ocean, going from paradise to the Pacific Northwest, where this modern era of rock was born. We have not only changed locations, but we’ve changed the name and identity of this band. Some of our Hawaii following know us as “The Crud.” We are henceforth known as Grim Smiley, based in Seattle, Wash.

Why the name change? Well, we wanted to make a fresh start with a cool new identity. Plus, it helps that there aren’t 20 other bands out there with the same name!

This new site has lots of features, and we hope you enjoy it. Keep checking back, as we’ll continue to add new content — everything from pictures to video to music to blogs to podcasts to swag to when/where we’re playing next.

Well enjoy, and we hope to see you at a show! (once we set one up …)

ROCK!!!
