Graydon James live at linuxcaffe!

Graydon James is the kind of person who still appreciates the value of a good mix tape. He owns many things, one of which is a typewriter. He also has a good head of hair on him. He can see, literally, millions of different colours all at once. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

He is the former drummer for such indie bands as the 6ixty8ights, Hill, and Clare Love & the Sweethearts, and is the current drummer for Sir!, the Maevens, the Friendless Youngsters, the Primordials, Ryan Partridge, and the Pocket Co. His recently released "The Ominous Panda ep" is his first experiment in recording without a drum kit involved, although you wouldn’t know it from hearing the songs, which feature more layers of percussion than the time that Stomp street-battled the Blue Man Group.

Graydon has written songs about ninjas, about walking around
corners and falling in love, about leaving a small town, about
being nervous, about grabbing your coat and being late, about
putting two keys in an envelope, about grandmothers, about
accidents with the human heart, about getting dropkicked, about talking to yourself, about lying to avoid work, about making sure, and about sitting in cars listening to music.

He's not the best thing that ever happened in the history of the world, but he thinks that you are.
