Gipfel--Former Steel Grit 

Gipfel is a 'semi' reformation of Steel Grit. About a week after I laid Steel Grit's bones to rest, the original Bass Player and founding member of Steel Grit, the one and only Mad Russian, Mark Szczerba, contacted me and asked if I wanted to start another project. Not really, I was ready to hang it up, but I said yes instead. 

We started banging ideas together while we worked on finding a singer and a drummer. Sometimes it was very much like putting a square peg in a round hole, but somehow we knew we could do this. Enter Queen. 

Queen came to us with a 30's Jazz vibe to her vocals. I decided I could work with this. We were now trying to put Octagon pegs into round holes, LOL. But with finesse and effort and learning how to work with each other, we started crafting songs. Then they started coming faster, but we were still looking for a drummer. 

Brian Haigh had been part of the attempt to save Steel Grit. I reached out and he agreed to join. Now it was a many sided peg into a round hole, but the chemistry started to come together and we now had a rock solid Core.  

Currently working on our first recording endeavor to get on this website (www.gipfelrocks.com) and the Facebook page, I am pleased to be back at it again.  

Looking to see you at the big festivals. 

Cheers to all you Lads and Lasses
