History

Grimble Grumble formed in 1995, taking their name from a character mentioned in the Pink Floyd song "The Gnome". [2] Prior to this, bassist Christine Garcia and guitarist Reuben Rios had been playing together in South Chicago's Slag Valley since they were teenagers in the late 1980s. [3] The group's first release was a split 7-inch record with The Azusa Plane in 1996, and several more singles and EPs followed in the late 1990s. A self-titled compilation of two of the band's EPs was released in 2000, shortly before the group went on hiatus. [2]

In 2004, Grimble Grumble regrouped to record Leaves Leader, [4] which would be their last recording for seven years. The group toured intermittently [5] until 2011's September Sun. A tour of the United States followed in 2012. [6] [7]
