Real name: Chick Graning

Effective period / Period of releases: 2001

Chick Graning has one of those bizarre rock’n'roll biographies which make your head spin. He started in Boston and hung out there with all the great underground names in the late eighties. Then he fronted the band Anastasia Screamed that recorded a couple of singles and two LPs (1990's Laughing Down The Limehouse and 1991's Moontime). It was the time of grunge, and Anastasia Screamed was one of the best representatives of its softer, more contemplative side, the one that was coming from Boston area.
Later, he formed a new band with bassist Joyce Raskin and drummer Jud Ehrbar - Scarce.
