With seven albums, 13-ARIA nominations, over half a million records sold and a back catalogue that is etched into Australian rock history as well as the memories of fans around Australia and the world, Grinspoon is one of the country’s best-loved and most enduring bands. After 18-years making music together and slaying the stage of more than 1,000 shows, the band announced they were taking an indefinite hiatus in 2013. While it was indeed a sad day for fans, the charismatic front man/guitarist Phil Jamieson has forged ahead with a solo career and is coming to the coast to play at Soundlounge.

If Phil’s past solo shows are anything to go by, fans can expect to hear a couple of Grinners tracks but they’ve been heavily rearranged to the point they are somewhat unrecognisable. Tickets to Phil’s Soundlounge gig are $30 or $35 on the door.
