Grim Ltd - Shakin’ It Up At The Nicoberg (Vinyl)

On a balmy night in downtown Palmerston North in late 1966, the cities top band took the stage for the last time. The venue was the Nicoberg Coffee Lounge which was situated near the Stafford Arcade near Cuba St. The group were tipped to be the next big thing and were being courted by HMV and Viking Records, but decided to break up instead, for a variety of reasons.

Grim Ltd had been together for nearly 18 months and were affectionately labelled as ‘Palmerston North’s Pretty Things', but they could just as easily been compared to The Who, The Rolling Stones or The Kinks.

The group’s reputation precedes them and you can now here these legendary live, raw, warts and all recordings for the first time as recorded on the night by the groups drummer and future sound engineer John Van Der Reyden.

"Primal garage rock from - who could have imagined? - Palmerston North! Droning and very raw, Grim Ltd were punk before the Velvets and Stooges got going. Mind blowing!"
