The Grumps are a group that performed at VAAS Music Festival along with other groups such as Malform, Nathemm, The Back Room, and Almighty Alpha X Jalen X Vincent. They were interviewed for The Ssssource to get a behind the scenes perspective on being a band to perform at the VAAS Music Festival. BEFORE VAAS Music Festival The Grumps are run by their lead guitarist and singer Isaac Ramirez who is a 12th grader at VAAS. Isaac says, “We have been a group for 2-3 months, and have been putting in time and effort after long school days to practice and perfect our performance.” They have been putting in work to put on a great show for the attendees of the VAAS Music Festival. “We're not going to have the worst performance, but we definitely won’t have the best. We’re breaking apart after, but it will definitely bring the group closer together as friends. I’m excited to see the other groups/bands because they’re all playing good songs.” When asked about his favorite song, his response was, “‘Break’ by Alex G is my favorite song that we will be performing. I listen to this song every day and I love Alex G. He inspired me to bring this band together and to play music.” AFTER VAAS Music Festival Although the group was brought together for greatness, Isaac says “I see the group breaking apart in the future but I will still be performing and playing at shows with a new group I will be joining and we will be writing our own songs which has always been a dream of mine.” Issac’s self-assessment of his performance was,” I don’t think we had the best performance. The song I think we performed well was “Barely Legal” by The Strokes. We messed up a couple times on multiple songs but we definitely weren’t too bad. I didn’t meet any new people, but VAAS Music Festival allowed me to get closer to my friends that showed up for me.” When asked who performed the best, Issac said, “Overall, I think Malform definitely had the best performance because they are known all around the valley and I enjoyed their performance too. The song I think we performed well was ‘Barely Legal’ by The Strokes.” Comments are closed.
