DAISYGRIM
Local Alternative Rock Band DAISYGRIM are no strangers to the UAEâs ever-evolving music scene. Having been on the live circuit locally and internationally for the last 3 years, the group has received a large amount of support from local music buffs and concert-goers. The head-banging drumming of Emirati drummer Sultan Al Ameri really hits you in the head, while South African/British vocalist Greg Brown balances the stakes with his sweet, comforting voice. After headlining the âRock in Goaâ festival in India in late 2014, the band has been working towards the release of their debut album âWho We Wereâ, a title inspired by Daisygrim experiencing significant changes in their lineup. Over the past few years, Daisygrim have become well known for their interactive live shows and fun onstage presence, with their music best-described by a recent feature in âTimeout Magazineâ. âImagine Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam singing over rock guitars played by The Beach Boys and Johnny Cash,â read the feature. âNow sprinkle in some psychedelia and an edgy rock beat, and you (hopefully) get the idea.â When asked, however, the group has a hard time explaining their style of music as elements of hard rock, funk, and folk seem to make themselves present throughout prior releases. The name âDaisygrimâ revolves around the concept of dark and light, the battle between good and evil, the hard and the heavy, portrayed through vocalist Greg Brownâs lyrics and the bandâs instrumental work behind the music. In recent months, Daisygrim has been working alongside LA producer Joshua F. Williams and are anticipating the release of their new single entitled âTo Be the Sun.â The is set to be a part of the first volume of the âGo Play the Worldâ compilation album, courtesy of Go Play the World and Fairplayed Music, a recently launched platform that supports of independent musicians in the UAE. Although the group has been somewhat quiet in the eyes of their supporters over the last year, Daisygrim has been working behind the scenes, developing their new sound and perfecting their live presence with a fresh lineup, in preparation for a strong comeback to the local music scene.
