Long before there was a Grimey’s or The Basement or even The Slow Bar, Mike “Grimey” Grimes was a working musician who had tasted success, releasing a major label record and touring the world with Bare Jr. Prior to his time in Bare Jr. Grimey formed a band with several other local heavyweights - Will Kimbrough, whose band Will & The Bushmen had also had some national success, and Tommy Womack, whose band Government Cheese had been one of the most popular local bands in both Nashville and their hometown Bowling Green, KY. Adding drummer Tommy Meyer, the Bis-Quits were born! Signed to John Prine’s Oh Boy! Records as the first rock band on the label, they released their self-titled debut album in 1993. After conquering the local scene with a sound described by Womack as “kinda like NRBQ meets The Replacements” the band unfortunately never gained a lot of traction nationally, despite good press, and the members went onto other projects. Of course the ‘90s was the era of the CD and the album never was pressed to vinyl… until now!

With the original album spanning three sides, a fourth side is added to this new vinyl release, consisting of outtakes, alternate versions and live recordings, along with expanded art and custom inner sleeves with credits & lyrics. This self-titled, 2 lp set is pressed on a white vinyl LP and a black vinyl LP and is available in the record store now as well as on our site here.

On Wednesday, March 8th at 5:00 PM we’ll celebrate the release of The Bis-Quits album on vinyl with a free and all ages in-store performance featuring Mike Grimes, Will Kimbrough, Tommy Womack, and Joe King (of Government Cheese, who will be sitting in for Tommy Meyer). After their set, the guys are going to sign copies of The Bis-Quits record. This is gonna be a ton of fun, and you can read more about it on our event listing here.
