DAVID GRUBBS
Louisville-born and bred, David Grubbs currently resides in New York.
In the mid-'80s, Grubbs was guitarist and songwriter in the widely influential punk group Squirrel Bait, which also featured Slint co-founders Britt Walford and Brian McMahon. Following Squirrel Bait's split, he played a similar role in Bastro (alongside Tortoise's Bundy K Brown and John McEntire), an intense musical unit who released two albums at the cusp of the '80s/'90s. During this same period, Grubbs was also a member of the harder-rocking Bitch Magnet.
In 1993, Grubbs and Bundy K Brown founded Gastr del Sol. Whilst Brown soon exited that group, Jim O'Rourke stepped in and Gastr del Sol (abetted at various stages by John McEntire, Tony Conrad, and Oval's Markus Popp) went on to release four albums between 1993 and 1998.
In 1997, Grubbs released his first solo album, "Banana Cabbage, Potato Lettuce, Onion Orange" (Table of the Elements). Subsequent releases have been "The Thicket" (1998, Drag City), "The Coxcomb" (Rectangle, 1998), "Apertura" (Blue Chopsticks, 1999), "The Spectrum Between" (2000, Drag City), and "Act Five, Scene One" (Drag City, 2002).
In June 2002, FatCat released his fourth solo effort, "Rickets & Scurvy", which is quite possibly his most accessible (and complete) record to date, and the first of his solo records to be built around an electric group, featuring Dan Brown, Noel Akchote and John McEntire, with M.C. Schmidt of Matmos providing additional electronics.
David Grubbs has also participated in Mayo Thompson's eccentric and eclectic Red Krayola since 1993. Having previously codirected Dexter's Cigar (again with Jim O'Rourke), an acclaimed reissue label, Grubbs presently runs the Blue Chopsticks record label, with releases from Luc Ferrari, Van Oehlen, and Mats Gustafsson.
Grubbs' new solo album, "A Guess At The Riddle", is released this month on FatCat.
