Grease N’ Grind celebrates its first birthday on Saturday (May 31) with a full-day blowout at Pat’s Pub. The monthly meet-up began last year as a way of satisfying booker Steve Chase’s appetite for rock ’n’ roll, rockabilly, garage, and surf music, with a nice dollop of lowbrow art and classic American car culture on top. Or, as Chase told the Straight, “Basically, Grease N’ Grind is a respite from fake, crappy, just-coz-Pitchfork says-it’s-good music. Enough of this Pitchfork buzz-band BS. I wanna go have fun. I don’t really care how cool it is.”

Saturday’s (mostly) free extravaganza begins at 11 a.m. with a vintage-car exhibition in the parking lot at Pat’s, Grease N’ Grind’s permanent home. Inside the pub, visitors will be treated to “Hot Rods and Cool Broads”—an art show curated by Nicole Steen and Melinda Neil of PopTarts—and the presence of local vendors including Bone Rattle Music, retro-chic accessorizers Funhauser, and the goth fashions of Flaming Angel.

There will also be a rum-tasting booth courtesy of Sailor Jerry, and on-site hairstylists for both sexes. Finally, paying customers will then be treated to a four-band bill featuring Victoria’s the Mags, locals the Still Creek Brothers, the Zip Guns, and, rounding out the night, Edmonton’s Raygun Cowboys.
