Grimble Grumble

Grimble Grumble is an American psychedelic rock band from Chicago, Illinois.

[1] Grimble Grumble formed in 1995, taking their name from a character mentioned in the Pink Floyd song "The Gnome".

[2] Prior to this, bassist Christine Garcia and guitarist Reuben Rios had been playing together in South Chicago's Slag Valley since they were teenagers in the late 1980s.

[3] The group's first release was a split 7-inch record with The Azusa Plane in 1996, and several more singles and EPs followed in the late 1990s.

A self-titled compilation of two of the band's EPs was released in 2000, shortly before the group went on hiatus.
