ViceGrip: Tahoe’s Own Rock Phenomenon
“Eclectic Beats and Tahoe Streets: The ViceGrip Sound”
ViceGrip, originating from the scenic shores of Lake Tahoe, California, is a dynamic band known for their eclectic mix of free-form funk, outlaw country, dirty blues, psychedelic rock, and heavy metal. As described by Tahoe Weekly, “ViceGrip is like Godzilla to the local music scene - a colossal force of musical prowess and rebellious spirit.” Currently, the band is making waves with their electrifying live performances and working on their next big project, a studio album slated to capture the essence of their high-energy shows. Formed by frontman Jonny Yocum and his childhood friend Ryan Roemer, ViceGrip’s roots trace back to the vibrant local music scenes of Tahoma. After experimenting with various genres and lineup configurations in bands like Liquid Kactus and The Treebillies, Jonny and Ryan, along with Matt Roemer and Craig Harriman, solidified ViceGrip’s unique sound. Their music, characterized by its intensity and local flavor, captures stories and spirits of the Tahoe area, making each song a tribute to their home. Memorable performances, such as their headline show at the RMU in Truckee, have solidified their status as local legends. As ViceGrip continues to dominate the local music scene, they are gearing up to launch their studio album and embark on a regional tour. Fans and new listeners can look forward to experiencing the “dino-stomping, crunchy groove” that only ViceGrip can deliver.
