"Shrimp Boat was a phenomenal band that made music out of Chicago from the mid '80s clear through to 1993. Taking inspiration from bluegrass, jazz, country, rock 'n' roll, and most importantly -- their own collective gung-ho, their ability to voluminously manifest new song form from the air around them left those exposed awestruck. Three albums were released in their lifetime: great, beautiful documents all, but they aren't even the half of it. Ian Schneller, Sam Prekop, David Kroll, Eric Claridge and Brad Wood were Shrimp Boat. They recorded everything, and this set manifests the extended 'Mega-money shot' culled from well over 400 hours of unreleased tapes -- 16-tracks made at Idful Music, 4-tracks made at their loft on Archer Street, live stage performances, and radio broadcasts. Something Grand is a 3xCD collection featuring 51 tracks and a 54-page booklet packed with photos, show flyers and two sets of comprehensive liner notes." First 2000 copies include a bonus 4th full-length CD of further exclusive material.
