Our site is dedicated to everything rock and metal with a few sidesteps in music that appeals to the same music fans like synthwave, neo (pagan) folk, industrial,… But some of us do have a taste for music and art that goes beyond these limitations. Enter “GRIMM goes rogue”: where you’ll get a metalhead, punker, rocker,… who ventures into realms beyond their usual habitat with an open mind and give their honest opinion, views and experiences.

The Black Crowes are back on stages in summer 2024 with their ‘Happiness Bastards’ tour, named after their latest long-player album released earlier this year in March. Together with the Jim Jones All Stars as support act, they bring a detailed classic rock show on the stages. We are very happy to present you some impressions of their tour stop in Stuttgart, Germany last Thursday!

Back in April on a very rainy day the gothic/country/blues group Me And That Man led by Nergal took over the seemingly sold out Korjaamo venue in Helsinki, flanked by the American rock ‘n’ roll group Frank The Baptist, turning it into one of the best shows our photographer has covered thusfar this year. An event by Live Nation Finland.

Sami Yaffa has worn multiple hats in various different bands such as Hanoi Rocks, Pelle Miljoona OY, New York Dolls, The Hellacopters, just to name a few but now in his 60s he is still going stronger than ever! This legendary bassist just released his second solo album in his illustrious career titled “Satan’s Helpers, Warlazer Eyes & The Money Pig Circus” and brought the album in its entirety to a packed Tavastia in Helsinki!

John J. Presley proved at Backstage in Munich that darkness can be beautiful with his blues rock project, what turned out to be a quite intimate, almost private show for those who came out to enjoy the music!

This hugely popular blues rock band The Black Crowes needs no introduction for many people. After nearly forty years of touring and pumping out hits, they visited Belgium once more at the Lotto Arena in Antwerp. With support from the Dutch psych rockers DeWolff.

Rocking their own specific funky style, Fun Lovin’ Criminals have been around for over a quarter of a century (since 1993) and they’re still going strong. After waiting 20 years, I finally got to see these guys live and man, I was not disappointed.

A groovy evening at the Hard Rock Café Antwerp with rock legend Little Steven’s Underground Garage Dance Party.

Gary’s albums of the year venture away from our more standard metal selection with a bunch of stellar punk releases from bands like The Bar Stool Preachers, Grade 2, The Darts, The Dollyrots, Rumkicks and Rancid, but also sidesteps into other music like the special brand of rock that Public Image Ltd. brings, blues rock with Samantha Fish and Jesse Dayton, an acoustic Dropkick Murphys and a trip back into time, reminiscing about London’s legendary Batcave Club!
