“So, have a Merry Christmas, a Happy Hanukkah, a Kwazy Kwanzaa, a Tip-Top Tết, and a solemn, dignified Ramadan.”

Hi, friends. So after spending the last few days dicking around with HTML code and Tumblr, I finally made a Drew And The Grand Spectacular blog/website! HOORAY AND MERRY CHRISTMAS! From now on I’ll be posting videos/pictures/mp3s and other shenanigans here. Facebook was cool to use for a band page but I think this’ll be better. So tell all yer friends.

Anyways, Christmas was sunday, so to celebrate the Holiday season, here’s a cover of Sufjan Stevens’ epic Christmas song, Sister Winter.  We recorded this about a week and a half ago at The College Of Saint Rose Recording Studio. It features Noelle Ricci on vocals and two new additions to the Grand Spectacular legion- Kevin Carey and Lillierose Ruby-Eck! Also featuring Tom Baxter on the snare drum/Christmas cactus.  Recorded by Scoops Dardaris.
