Whiskerman is an indie rock band from Oakland, California. Passionate, clowning, pensive and raw, the band has emerged as a creative engine of the west coast psychedelic scene, and has released 4 studio albums to date. Frontman Graham Patzner’s songs make the collapse of industrial civilization sound catchy, as it should, for there is no escape.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year once again, or maybe not…depending on who you ask. Bay Area psych-rockers, Whiskerman have put together a slithering rendition of “You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch.” A biting sitar hook, crunchy synth bass pads, and Patzner’s theatrical tenor put a distinct twist on this holiday classic.
“I was imagining the character as a hunter S. Thompson version of the grinch, absolutely insane but fun and witty at the same time. Throw in a little leonard Cohen and some psychedelic guitar and it’s now a Whiskerman song” – Graham Patzner, frontman & multi-instrumentalist
