COW OVERBOARD

from theUNKNOWN​-​pt​.​2 by GRAMPS

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    The limited edition new album all with hand printed (individually stencilled and stamped) covers made from recycled cardboard. Luck of the draw which colour combo you get…some super-limited yellow G'S left...

    theUNKNOWN-pt.2 is a NEW RECORDING of the remaining GRAMPS songs that fell into the void after they won Triple J's Unearthed and then disbanded at the end of 1998.

    What started as a merry idea to re-record these songs over a December weekend turned into a reality in 2011, as the band began recording demos and pushing towards actually making it happen 13 years later.

    Bassist Joel Coxall, Songwriter/Guitarist David Gibb & Drummer Jordan Lockett got together in a Port Fairy dairy to blast out some of the old songs onto tape, while Songwriter/Guitarist Gus Franklin threw together demos of the other songs during soundcheck on a European tour with the band, Architecture in Helsinki.

    The band then convened in a lonely beach house in Port Fairy, enlisting a helping hand (and caravan) from local producer and studio owner Chris Hedges to re-capture the raw edge of their long-lost teenage riffs.

    The album is a ball-tearing romp through 7 of the bands' un-recorded live classics from back in the day, featuring songs like the shoegazing anti-rape song, "When," to expletive-filled accounts of the bands' trip to Sydney to re-record their song for Triple J "Airport Nazi's" and "Trippin' Truckie," a riff-heavy folk tale about long-haul truck driving in Australia.

lyrics

COW OVERBOARD
(Gibb/Edwards/Gramps)

Sailin' on a spanish ship, Destination Unknown...
The prisoners were given' sh%t, they walked the plank alone…
The food was scarce the food was short, only one cow left for us…
I say, "F@#k the prisoners!" this cow's coming with us…

There he goes! OVERBOARD!

For 40 days and 40 nights, we sailed the 7 seas…
The horns of Noah's friesian rule, had filled this arc with fleas...
A mutiny was inevitable, a new captain WILL rise…
Scrub the deck & cut his neck, And bleed him of his lies!

There he goes! OVERBOARD!

The 3 of us were left, 2 of us were friends…
We decided to draw straws, to see who would end…
The hunger & the famine, that we had to endure…
The hardest thing i had to do, was eat my best friend RAW!

OVERBOARD! There he goes!

GRAMPS Port Fairy, Australia

GRAMPS started in a shed in Port Fairy circa 1995, and progressed to a self-funded album recorded locally in 1998, which gave birth to a wealth of local classics, including 'Glitter-Eyed Girl,' which won Triple J's Unearthed competition for the Warrnambool region. The group disbanded in 99 to pursue other commitments, but are now back 13 years later with their remaining 90s songs on a new record. ... more
