WEST COAST 'LORDS & LADIES' TOUR DATES BEING ANNOUNCED DAILY!

WE ARE HITTING THE ROAD WITH OUR PALS IN ROCQUE, THE UPPER CRUST! CHECK THE 'SHOWS' PAGE FOR UPCOMING DATES TO START THIS WEEK!

2015 was our best year yet. It began with the release of our 8th album, "Ballsier" released by Saustex on Trannylucent green vinyl and CD. It was recorded by Bart Thurber & mixed by Jack Endino. Ballsier's front and back covers featured Raymond Ahner's awesome photography. Stores; it is available from Burnside in the USA and Rough Trade in Europe. Reviews were pretty much glowing pretty much (well except for that guy in Philly who didn't like it one fucking bit.); "Under the frayed frocks you'll find a fully operational gang of fire-breathing rock savages. As the title clearly implies, 'Ballsier' is the loudest, heaviest, most excessive Grannies record yet."- Sleazegrinder - Classic Rock UK. We had 2 very different and very kool remixes done of our songs. Matt Flores reimagined 'GlitterShitter' and Ben Addison spiced up 'The Corner OF Fuck & You' splendidly. Jeff Smith shot videos of both the Ben Addison remix and our song, 'Soviet'. You can buy "Ballsier" here; or see our AUDIO page. We did 3 killer tours with some of our favorite bands on the planet; #1- EAST COAST with White Dynomite & The Upper Crust. #2- TEXAS with HICKOIDS, THE BEAUMONTS & POOR DUMB BASTARDS. The Texas tour included the honor of playing the Plaidstock Benefit for Hickoids’ & Dicks’ guitarist Davy Jones (Now sadly RIP). #3- EUROPE with The Upper Crust. We played a couple of songs at our bassist Michael Scanland's wedding to the lovely and wonderful Katie Scanland (who took the photo here!) To top it all off we played with D.R.I in our hometown to a capacity crowd and played for the SF Premier of Cindy Marabito's documentary, The Dicks From Texas with both Gary Floyd & Jello Biafra in attendance! Extra Thanks to Jeff Smith, Andy Uberalles, Troy Wayne Delco & Kelly Engram. And thanks to you all for coming out to see and hear us! We gotta bunch a crap up our sleeves (in addition to the glitter) for the upcoming year and we will see ya'all in 2016!

WE WILL HIT EUROPE FOR THE 4th TIME IN OUR ILLUSTRIOUS CAREER THIS OCTOBER 1 - 12. CONSIDER YOURSELVES WARNED.

WE ARE JUST BACK FROM TWO KILLER TOURS; EAST COAST WITH THE UPPER CRUST & WHITE DYNOMITE! - BOTH BANDS EXTRAORDINARILY GOOD. WE ROCKED NYC, BOSTON & PORTLAND MAINE WITH THEM. EXPECT TO SEE US PLAYING MORE WITH BOTH OF THEM IN THE FUTURE! AND 2 WEEKS AGO WE PLAYED WITH A SHITTON OF OUR SAUSTEX BRETHEREN; HICKOIDS, THE BEAUMONTS, CHIEF FUZZER, LOCO GRINGOS, POOR DUMB BASTARDS DOWN IN TEXAS. WE DEALT WITH A TORNADO THAT RIPPED THE ROOF RIGHT OFF OF A BUILDING A FEW BLOCKS FROM WHERE WE WERE HONORED TO BE PLAYING PLAIDSTOCK (DAVY JONES BENEFIT), TONS OF RAIN & FLOODING. SOMEHOW WE MANAGED TO ESCAPE SAFELY BACK TO THE BAY AREA. WE PROMISE TO TRY TO BRING SOME OF THESE NE'ER-DO-WELLS BACK WITH US SOON AS THEY ALL ROCK!
