**UPDATE** Due to the current conditions surrounding the coronavirus outbreak, we’ve had to cancel in-store performances in order to maintain a safe space in the store for our customers and staff as well as performers. We hope to reschedule Clem Snide’s performance here but are unable to announce a new date until we all have a better understanding about the timing and impact of the pandemic. Any purchase of Forever Just Beyond from Grimey’s does still guarantee a wristband for Clem Snide’s eventual performance & signing in the record shop. We’re happy to mail you your vinyl or CD, please just select the shipping option when checking out. Alternately, purchased albums will be available for local pick-up during our modified store hours. Thanks for your understanding. - 3/18/20

We're very excited to welcome Clem Snide back to Grimey's for an in-store performance in support of their new album Forever Just Beyond! Eef Barzelay, the artist behind Clem Snide, was one of our first-ever in-store performers at the original Grimey's in Berry Hill in the early days. Forever Just Beyond is Clem Snide's first studio album in five years and arrives after a crisis of conscience for Barzelay, who had to deal with a failing marriage, the dissolution of his band, and imminent bankruptcy. After seeing a video of Scott Avett singing one of his songs during an Avett Brothers concert, he took it as a sign to reach out. "I had just hit this low point where I realized I couldn't do it alone anymore," Barzelay says in a statement. "I passed along a little message and a new song I wrote to the Avett Brothers' manager, and Scott wrote me right back to say what a fan he was." With Avett onboard as producer and collaborator, they set about making what would become Forever Just Beyond. "I look up to Eef with total respect and admiration," Avett said. "I hope to survive like he survives: with total love for the new and the unknown. Eef's a crooner and an indie darling by sound and a mystic sage by depth. That's not common, but it's beautiful." Forever Just Beyond will be officially released on March 27th but we'll have it available a couple of days early at the in-store. Preorder the vinyl or CD from Grimey's for your wristband to go through the signing line and get your album autographed following the performance.
