Artist History Grandmother Squash formed in the fall of 1999 under the name Inlet. After deciding the metal image was not what they wanted, they dropped their original singer and went back to their roots in grunge and early 90's rock. From those influences they built a solid base of original songs which come from the heart. Grandmother Squash loves the stage. The live show is definitely where they shine. However, over the summer of 2001 they decided to put together their first album. It is entitled "so little time to leave so much behind" and is composed of ten original tracks. It can be purchased at www.grandmothersquash.com for $5. The Fall of 2001 brought a short break to the band as two of its members journeyed to college, but in the short times they were able to regroup, they have written many new songs and added guitarist Ben Koziolek. Over the holiday season of 2001, Grandmother Squash put down much higher quality new tracks for an EP entitled Missing Her. All of the tracks can be downloaded here. GSquash had a big summer of gigging doing shows all over the Twin Cities metro area. The band is currently working on producing a new demo/live disc.
