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
