The Gloomies is a fitting name for the ever-feared Monday, but despite the grim name, these surf punk rockers were formed in “a sun-bleached surf town in southern California.” Indeed their debut single “LSD” is a delightful blend of gloom and glow, like Halloween in paradise. Consisting of Andrew Craig, Blake Martz, Chris Trombley and Grant Martz, lead singer Andy Craig spent a brief period in our New York grey concrete jungle before heading back west in 2014, a year which he lived out of his suitcase most of the time. A rite of passage for many of the creatively inflicted, and an experience that would become the inspiration behind the single.
“LSD” / “Groves” is available on October 16th courtesy of Thrill Me Records. Listen to “LSD” – and don’t miss their second newly released single – “Groves.” Both will set the tone for a Beetlejuice celebration of a week.
