All Juck Juck Grunzie Want For Christmas … Is A New Drummer

In November, Juck Juck Grunzie and drummer Bookja decided to part ways.  Since then, Vidulgi Ooyoo’s Lee Yong-jun has been helping out on drums at gigs.  And while he’s been doing a very good job, the Juck Juck ladies are currently searching for a permanent replacement.

To help them find someone, earlier this week the band posted a Korean and English message on their Facebook page to let folks know about the opening.  Here’s the English text for any drummers out there who’d like to play with the act:

“Seoul band Juck Juck Grunzie is looking for a new drummer. Please help spread the word. Everyone is welcome to apply. We want to find someone who is a good fit for Juck Juck Grunzie. If you’re interested in being a part of Juck Juck Grunzie, please email yeahyeah123@hanmail.net and we’ll email you some MP3 files and YouTube clips of the band. Thank you!”

Here’s a live video of Juck Juck Grunzie putting their own spin on “Too Drunk to Fuck” by the Dead Kennedys.

Juck Juck Grunzie will be spreading some Christmas cheer tonight (December 23) with SmackSoft, Apollo 18, 99 Anger, and Jambinai at the newly opened Evan’s Lounge in Hongdae (there’s a Korean map on the venue’s website).  The show starts at 8 pm and tickets are 20,000 won.  Word has it that Juck Juck Grunzie will be revisiting their schoolgirl days with special attire at the show.

Guess we’ll find out soon enough if the outfits earn them a spot on Santa’s naughty or nice list!
