So by now you've all heard/seen that we've managed to con the very busy Sam from Skinny Hobos as a temporary fix to help our drummer situation ( as in the fact that we can't find a permanent one) we are now super stoked to also have Dan  Reese on the bass and are looking forward to announcing a couple of exciting summer shows. 
In other news, we've completed recording for our second E.P, Rain or Shine and look forward to shoving it in your face all over the internet ( and in person if you want) next year! 

We will shortly have pre-orders available through bandcamp so watch this space. 

But for now we're looking forward to having a couple of weeks to chill over Xmas! 

- Thanks for all the support in 2016, Grimmsters. 

Cheshire Grimm – 'Awaken'
Official release date: 05/11/2016

Alternative grunge pop outfit Cheshire Grimm have unleashed their anticipated new single ‘Awaken’. The empowering anthem is the first track from their second EP Rain or Shine - due for release early next year.
The song is a raw and powerful ballad, that is simultaneously funky and catchy - A Grimm trademark. Psychedelic guitars and ethereal vocals infiltrate the mind, and remain trapped there for days.
The creative chemistry between the bands charismatic front woman Kat Waswo, and guitarist/singer Lora Thompson is unmistakeable.
Having gone through various changes and progressions in the last year, the band have re-emerged stronger than ever.
To celebrate the release of this new track, North Island tour dates with friends and fellow rockers Skinny Hobos and Armed in Advance are set for December; paving the way for a New Zealand & Australian mini-tour early 2017.

So with the recording of our second EP well underway, we are super excited to have an amazing team on board! 

We are proud to be working with Paul from Revaulting Records , and the legendary Ben King , who's credits include but are not limited to: Goldenhorse, Tim Finn, Brooke Fraser, Bic Runga & Dave Dobbyn to name a few.

We are looking forward to releasing our new single Awaken in November, and touring N.Z & Aus with our new lineup. 

So , by now you've probably heard we're about to record again , our second EP ! We are super excited to be doing this with some really great producers this time, and at some great top quality studios. 
Yay, dreams! 

Now for those of you who may not realize, we're still in a independent band ( as in we aren't signed yet ) which means we have to pay for everything ourselves as a record label wont help us out ( yet). 

So Lately we've kind of been a little bit 'in shock' with the ok, cool, its all happening , now how do we , Lora and Kat ( a busy mum and a part-time worker ) pay for all the stuff . . . . and I ( Lora ) have been crazily applying for funding and thinking more and more about crowdfunding. 

You guys wanna buy our CD's - we know that from the amount we have sold of our first one. But who would put their hand up/pay for a limited edition pre-order?  its kind of like crowd funding, except you're getting something thats only going to be made once ( and probably less than 100 copies) , and doesn't cost any more than the digital version. 

But not only that you're helping us pay for actually MAKING the recordings, CD's and packaging. 

We literally cannot do anything without our audiences who keep us doing this - if it wasn't for you guys we wouldn't be anything! so I need your thoughts. 

Hit me up in the comments. 

Peace Xx
