NEXT SHOW: Boss Gremlin has no shows scheduled at this time. Mr. Lou (bass) is on a European tour with another band. In the meantime, you can check out our lead singer's other band for shows in June and July.

Boss Gremlin has no scheduled shows at this time. Mr. Lou will be touring Europe with Joe D'Urso and the Stone Caravan during May and June.
**In the meantime, check out what Jon is up to with the Jon Caspi Collective. The JCC play a few songs from the Boss Gremlin collection!**
How the CD got it’s name: Tim (lead guitar) lives near an elementary school. One day he found a note on his front lawn that, it seems, had been accidentally dropped by a boy on his way home from school. The note turned out to be a “things to do” list. Number one on that list: Beat up Henry! Not “clean up my room” or “do math homework”, no it was…”beat up henry!” Poor Henry. Boss Gremlin found the list both amusing and horrifying enough to put it on the cover of their CD (that is a photo of the real list!).
