There are four artists with the name Grid. 1. Grid - Grid is an English group/production group for electronic music, that consists of Richard Norris and David Ball (mostly Dave Ball as a solo artist and formerly of Soft Cell). Their 1994 single “Swamp Thing”, which featured elaborate banjo lines (played by Roger Dinsdale) over house beats was widely popular in the UK and Australia, reaching number forty-four on the 1994 Triple J Hottest 100. Grid’s 1994 album Evolver, which contained the “Swamp Thing” single, reached number fourteen in the UK charts. “Swamp Thing” was also released in 1995 on Triple J’s Hottest 100 Volume 2 compilation. Other songs by Grid include Texas Cowboys, Rollercoaster and Flotation. After splitting up to pursue individual music interests in 1996, the duo re-formed in 2003. By 2006 the pair were reportedly to have been recording new studio tracks. In early 2006 the band began touring under the name GDM with female singer Misty Woods. Dave Ball reunited with Marc Almond for a new Soft Cell album and tour in 2002-3. Richard Norris is currently working with Erol Alkan under the moniker Beyond the Wizard’s Sleeve, under which they released an album of acid rock re-edits called “Spring” in the summer of 2006. The band released a new album in 2008 called Doppelgänger and performed some live shows 2. GRiD - drum and bass artist from Romania. www.myspace.com/gridoftt 3. Grid - A grindcoreband from Umeå, North Sweden. 4. GRID - Dark Jazz group With an approach based in free jazz, GRID takes the plunge into darker, heavier, and more psychedelic realms of improvised music. The new trio, featuring Matt Nelson (Battle Trance) on saxophone, Tim Dahl (Child Abuse) on bass, and Nick Podgurski (New Firmament;Feast of the Epiphany) on drums, harnesses the clamorous spirit of free jazz while venturing beyond its acoustic borders through the implementation of electronic processing and dirge-like tempos akin to Doom and Sludge. Noisey calls GRID “a three-way chat. It’s a conversation between musicians with differing musical opinions, but their debut album has become a shared dialogue that is as fluid as it is improvised”.
