Grand Mal has spent a decade churning out albums loaded with brilliant off-kilter rock’n’roll gems about first round K.O.’s, bail-jumping ex-wives, disaster films, mustachioed fascists and endless misadventures. Throughout their evolution from grungy heavy pop to technological glam to full-on classic rock’n’roll, leader Bill Whitten’s trademark deadpan vocal delivery, uncommon songwriting sensibility, and willingness to experiment have remained the band’s consistent marks of distinction.
These are photos from concerts where Grand Mal played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
