SHRIMP BOAT was a phenomenal band that made music out of Chicago from the mid ‘80s clear through to 1993. Taking inspiration from bluegrass, jazz, country, rock ‘n’ roll and most importantly - their own collective gung-ho, their ability to voluminously manifest new song form from the air around them left those exposed awestruck. Four albums were released in the group's lifetime: great, beautiful documents all, but they aren’t even the half of it...

SHRIMP BOAT recorded practically everything that they ever played. Something Grand manifests the extended “mega-money shot” culled from well over 400 hours of unreleased tapes - 16-tracks made at Idful Music, 4-tracks made at their loft on Archer Avenue, live stage performances, and radio broadcasts. The book features plentiful evocative archival imagery, illustrated discography, full credits and two sets of extensive liner notes: a beautiful essay by painter/SB compatriot Walter Andersons and a history by producer Steven Joerg and the band members themselves.

“As we speak, Chicago’s Shrimp Boat are the best band on the planet .. four musicians who
have already placed themselves in a league that very few ever attain.” – CMJ, 1990

• SOMETHING GRAND IS A GODHEAD COLLECTION OF BOUNTIFULLY
