The Atomic Grind Show

It Rocks, It Rhumbas, it Tangos and Two Steps! Don't you want to know how it works!?!

THE ATOMIC GRIND SHOW is a musical ten-in-one, spinning music with humor and theatre across a range of music styles: Rock & Roll, Jazz, Blues, Country, Funk, Circus...The seven core members, emcee and organist Shane Rettig, dynamic male vocalist Joel Garland, saxophonist Ed Rosenberg, dynamic female vocalist and accordionist Kamala Sankaram, electronic mad scientist EJ Fry, bassist Geoff Zink and drummer Matt Moore, form the foundation of a roving house band that can be joined at anytime by a diverse range of performers including singers, musicians, sideshow acts, dancers, and other oddities. Audiences quickly become indoctrinated into the show as a musical oddity all of their own accompanied by THE ATOMIC GRIND SHOW.

Based in the fair borough of Brooklyn, THE ATOMIC GRIND SHOW has spent the 21st century performing in backrooms, circuses and speakeasys throughout New York City...from their monthly show at Freddy's Backroom in Prospect Heights to The Cirque du Soleil cast party on Randall's Island; from CBGB's and Ars Nova in Manhattan to the Only in Threes annual party in Park Slope; from Joe's Pub to the New York Musical Theatre Festival, The Atomic Grind Show brings their unique, bizarre and fantastic performance to every venue they play.

"The Atomic Grind Show mixes rock, jazz, country and other musical styles with carny attitude." - TimeOutNY

"The music...is quite good, mixing mysterioso themes with honky-tonk rhythms and rock infusions" - Backstage

"They was different and they was good and I like that" - Offoffonline.com

"The music ultimately came out as something close to musical comedy with a certain edge. The musicians are certainly accomplished, and you can see that beyond the initial silliness they seem to evoke." - Greenwich Village Gazette
