Grinspoon was an Australian rock band from Lismore, New South Wales formed in 1995 and fronted by Phil Jamieson on vocals and guitar with Pat Davern on guitar, Joe Hansen on bass guitar and Kristian Hopes on drums. Also in 1995, they won the Triple J-sponsored Unearthed competition for Lismore, with their post-grunge song "Sickfest". Their name was taken from Dr. Lester Grinspoon an Associate Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, who supports marijuana for medical use.
Grinspoon changed their sound to more mainstream rock by their 2002 album, New Detention, gaining fans and peaking at No. 2 on the ARIA Albums Charts; similarly 2007's Alibis & Other Lies also reached No. 2. Their 2004 album, Thrills, Kills & Sunday Pills, which peaked at No. 4, won the 2005 'Best Rock Album Award' at the ARIA Music Awards.
The band was signed to Universal Records in United States by late 1998, they were promoted by the songs "Champion", which featured in Gran Turismo 3; "Post Enebriated Anxiety", which was on the international version of Guide to Better Living; "Chemical Heart", via the internet; and a cover of the Prong song "Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck", from Grinspoon's Pushing Buttons EP, which was included on ECW: Extreme Music.
"Lost Control" is a song by Grinspoon. It was released as the second single from their third studio album, New Detention, and peaked at No. 29 on the ARIA Singles Chart. The video shows a woman driving to a Grinspoon concert on the beach, where the fans cause chaos. It is the official theme song for AFL Live 2004.

23 Hrs Of Waiting Around is a rock-umentary about the Australian rock band Grinspoon, it's a good look at Grinspoon behind the scenes, circa 2003. I thought I'd upload this video as it's Aussie rock history and needs to be shared! I hope the authors are cool with this?? Pity the Grinners didn't go out with a 'bang' and engaged a full Australian pub tour one last time.....it'd have been epic! Thanks for the RNFNR memories Grinspoon I take no credit for this video and the authors et.al. are listed below All credit for this film, concept, design, production, authoring and mastering goes to Elastic Wit Studios.

Craig Oats interviews Australian band Grinspoon during their UK tour in February 2011
Phil and Pat from Grinspoon act all merry with the MySpace crew whilst at the Canberra leg of rural festival Groovin The Moo.

Minute By Minute, performed by Grinspoon, accoustic version, live on the Andrew Denton Enough Rope program. Brand new single from their new album Alibis & Other Lies.
Phil and Pat from Grinspoon are two dudes who have a lot to talk about at the moment. Not only has the band returned to their former glory on the latest release Black Rabbit, but they are also fresh from the Big Day Out 2013 circuit, moments from embarking on their own headlining tour, and of course everything going on inbetween all that goodness. Though they are no strangers to the Big Day Out machine, the pair both seem to agree that 2013 was one of the best versions (if not the best) of the festival that they had ever played. According to Pat, people seemed to appreciate having the band there. Last year the band only performed on the Sydney leg of the fest as 'special guests', though fans all over the country got their fix this time round. Between the Gold Coast leg and the Adelaide L...

it was a naked summer
i left a vocal chord
buried in glass houses
the pretty pink i know
lets the fashion quiver
will you let me know?
when the weathers better
the baby never knew
the baby gave her something
old and borrowed and blue
buried in glass houses
and what about the plan?
and frequent left desicions
now you sit and stand
