I really love the Pink Turtle cover of Bob Marley's 'Get Up Stand Up', so I decided to do a little remix to spice it up a bit! Oh, and there's a bit of 'Time To Build' by 'The Herbaliser' in there too, just for good measure! 

If you dig, please be so kind as to repost or leave us some feedback in the comments. Cheers!

Welcome one and all, to the wonderful world of skee-diddley-wiff. 

Skeewiff like beats of all kinds and are fascinated by electronics, vintage or haute moderne. Mashing, mixing and scratching is de rigeur. As is the shaking of booty. & booties. & shaking. & then some.
 
Enjoy. I'll put the kettle on.

Here are some kind words from Captain Smash: 
“Since finding Electro Swing and discovering how open and friendly the whole community is, I have very gladly embraced it into my life! I never expected everyone to be so welcoming and helpful, with people who actively go out of their way to give you advice, guidance and share their skills.
Looking around the world today, in our current situation, it’s easy to get lost in the uncertain reality we are all facing. For some it will be proving harder and harder to be upbeat when everything around them seems to have been thrown in to turmoil.

What I’m noticing though, while we are undergoing this global catastrophe, is the power of positivity and the acts of kindness from people who have never met before. Our ability to work together and look out for each other is really starting to shine through. People are sending notes around neighbourhoods to check in on each other and make sure they’re ok, families are re-connecting, people are sharing goods and services online for free. DJs have begun streaming online to help entertain people, teachers are posting various ideas to help parents teach their children… We may be in isolation, but we have never been closer!

If everyone can continue with this mentality and remember to follow the social distancing and isolation rules, it should make this pandemic much easier to conquer.
Hopefully my mix will help you pass some of this time! So pop it on, turn it up loud, open your windows and dance like no-one’s watching!

And remember, in the words of Bill and Ted “Be excellent to each other”
Captain Smash” 💣💣💣

Swim Fish video:

An infectious brand of subterranean pop fused with soul, funk and breaks cleverly spliced together to create the distinctive sound of Grinny Grandad. Based on the scissors and string mind of Chris Morton, the bands reputation for originality has earned them shows at major festivals including Glastonbury and Beat-Herder .

Described as 'Motown meets Def Jam' by Groove Armada for their 2010 release 'The Good Girl', 2013 sees Grinny Grandad set to release their latest EP, 'The Car-Bootleg'. The lead track, 'Monty' which samples Fleetwood Mac's 'Oh Well', spliced seamlessly with a recreation of the 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' theme song is superbly topped with the vocals of Claire Swain. It is this gem that perfectly showcases the bands exuberance, earning the track comparisons to Jon Bonham of Led Zeppelin from BBC Radio 6 host, Tom Robinson.

“I’ve not heard drums played with such power and feeling since Jon Bonham of Led Zeppelin.” 
- Tom Robinson, BBC 6 music

The quirky undertone of 'Swim Fish' blends vocals reminiscent of 1930's Pioneer Days Mickey Mouse with hard hitting breaks. An unlikely marriage of music and yet it works incredibly well. The ability to successfully shift, merge and mix genres comes natural to Grinny Grandad. 

The final track on the EP, 'Q The Pimp', a floor filling break beat anthem with a smart groove, promises to render you helpless as the guitar riffs intensify and the rhythm swells fittingly paired with the line 'everybody rumble.' Not just anyone can sample PJ and Duncan and get away with it.

This summer Grinny Grandad will be performing on the festival circuit, starting with Beat-Herder festival in early July.

‘Riding the beats are soul-driven vocals, catchy flutes, sleazy organs and electrifying trumpet freakouts which should provide all five of your five a day.’

‘Feel good funk’ – Fame Magazine
