The Gristle Gals
gris·tle (grsl) gal (gl) n. A classy broad
"Django Reinhardt would have loved it....[they] know how to tear it up on stage, and can jam with the best bands out there. If you're up for a little musical diversity, jonesing for a new sound, you'll want to put this outfit on your radar; you'll be glad you did..." - Charlie Sullivan, Colorado Music Buzz
"They describe their sound as “gypsy grass” but I recommend taking a listen for yourself because I don’t believe that term does justice to the depth of their music." - Josh Darnell, Gin & Bear It - Tales from Both Sides of the Bar
"OK, the group plays Celtic tinged folk music (complete with fiddler and mandolin player), but don’t be fooled, The Gristle Gals have more in common with riot girls than Celtic women. Beneath the beautiful melodies and bad-ass fiddle playing is a pulsing rebellious streak that’s pure rock..."
- Charles O'Mara, UCD Advocate
"The first time I heard the band I felt like I was simultaneously transported into Romania, Russia, and Appalachia. At the same time it felt like we were all part of a Vaudeville variety show. " - Central City resident Hillary Peden

Hi Everyone!
So, we’re heading into the studio this weekend to record our second album, which will be released May 5th. With the help of Grammy award-winning engineer, Nick Sullivan, of Silo Sound (formerly John Macy studios), and the excellent producer/sound engineer and all-around brilliant guy, Tom Payetta, we are optimistic that we will create a great album that will give us momentum to carry us on to bigger and better opportunities, while still holding true to our vision and our sound.
With the addition of drummer and multi-instrumentalist, Nick Schmidt, and bassist, Kalin Capra, we have formed a solid base of original tunes. These tunes combine our broad musical influences with our abiding interest in traditional gypsy music, folklore, and lifestyles, and present a provocative and contagious sound (in our humble opinion).
Of course, making an awesome album isn’t going to be cheap; this is where you come in. We have been working hard and saving our pennies, but alas, we are coming up short. Your help will allow us to spend the time needed to lock in the sound we strive for, and our fans love. The people we are working with on our new album are top-notch. We believe they can and will help us deliver our energy, our joy, and our passion to the ears of the listener.
You can visit our posting on Kickstarter.com, watch our new music video for free, and check out our various pledge options.

As always, thanks for listening and thanks for your support!
Love, Gretchen, Mandi, Nick, and Kalin
