About

Grandloom is propably one of the senior Stoner-Bands in east Germany. Thomas already formed the trio in 1995, influenced by new sounds that were blown over from the Palm Desert. After some changes in the line-up the band used to play with two guitars, drums and without vocals in the beginning. More than ten years passed by in the sweet haze of the rehearsal room until some of the founder members were replaced by Hans on the bass and Rischi on the drums in 2007. Only Thomas remained on the guitar. With the new line-up the wheels slowly started turning: Grandloom started to play concerts with a lot of well-known bands like Graveyard, Brant Bjork, Orange Goblin, Karma to Burn or Truckfighters. In 2010 Grandloom went on tour for the frist time with their „5 Dollar Jam' EP, which was released on CD and later on Vinyl. This was followed by their first album „Sunburst' and two more tours through Germany and Europe in 2011. Until the end of 2012 Grandloom played about 200 shows in 12 countries, including famous festivals like „Stoned from the Underground' or „Desertfest Berlin', where they shared the stage with Monster Magnet and Motorpsycho. In 2013 there was a final reshuffle in the line-up. Rischi quit the band and left the seat behind the drums for Tim. Right on time.
