Shilpa Ray & Grinderman!

This past Tuesday (11/16) morning, Shilpa Ray woke up to some pretty amazing news. Grinderman, currently in the midst of their North American Tour, were in need of an opener for their show that night in Washington, DC, and they were personally requesting she be there to play the date. Without hesitation she jumped out the door, harmonium in hand, and was on her way south to the 9:30 club.

Once praised by Nick Cave as a "Band of The Day" in the Canadian paper the National Post Shilpa Ray was honored to help warm up the audience that night. She will join Grinderman on their next few dates in Atlanta, Memphis, and Nashville as well.
