The ABCs of SNC: G is for...

One of the methods that Straight No Chaser uses to arrange a song is by "Grinching" it on the spot in the studio.  They pick a song and decide what kind of sound or vibe they think it should have. Then they collaborate all day, building it from the ground up, recording one part at a time and vocal percussion until they have a complete song. "Grinching" is their nickname for it because You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch! is the first song on which they did this together.



Here's a brief video of Jerome laying down the track for his solo in Grinch:

And here's Grinch in full performance mode, with the fantastic lighting:

I've seen this one live. More importantly, I've FELT this one live! *shivers* When Randy and Charlie really get going, you can feel the bass vibrations from your seat. Bass vibrations - just one of the many, many reasons you should go see their live show.

I'm pickin' up bass vibrations.
Good good good bass vibrations...

*ahem* lol
