Grim Smiley May 1, 2008

For three-piece grunge-pop band Grim Smiley, its relocation from Honolulu to Seattle was the realization of a lifelong inevitability, a permanent pilgrimage to rock's great Mecca. The band brings with it an exotic and unique brand of sweet !n' dirty grunge-pop called "lava rock," and has left behind all it has accomplished in the islands so that it can reach the audience that raised up some of its idols. From Seatlle, Washington, Thunderbird Motel is a rock band. This alternative/rock band was formed in 2005 in Seattle, Washington, and features Bob Silverstein (guitar, vox), Jim Fleming (drums), Patrick Nugent (bass) and Mark Wilgus (guitar, lead vox).
