1) Grady is a Southern rock band based in Austin, Texas. Grady originally consisted of Canadian vocalist and guitarist Gordie Johnson (known as Grady Johnson as part of the band), Canadian bass guitarist "Big" Ben Richardson, and Chris Layton on drums. Prior to Grady, Johnson was the frontman for Big Sugar, Layton was the drummer for Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble, and Richardson was with The Jeff Healey Band and The Phantoms in Toronto.
Grady often plays at The Continental Club in Austin, did an eight stop Canadian tour in March 2005, and appeared at the University of Regina to play a free show in September 2005. This was followed up by a full-length album called Y.U. So Shady?. The band released Hammer In My Hand as a single from the album, which was a moderate hit on Canadian radio, peaking at #14 on Canada's Rock chart in 2005. After the issue of a second album, A Cup of Cold Poison, Grady made two extensive tours to Canada early in 2008.
The band caught the attention of Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys who released Y.U. So Shady? in the United States.
Chris Layton was replaced on drums by Billy Maddox in early 2006. Maddox was also a veteran of the Austin music scene, having played with The Electromagnets, Alien Love Child and The Eric Johnson Band.
In 2006, Grady shot a video for Woman Got My Devil which was played in Canada on MuchMoreMusic. Produced by Michael Maxxis and directed by David Hogan, the video features Witchbaby from A&E's Rollergirls, as well as a number of other Rollergirls in supporting roles. It was shot in Luck, Texas, an 1800s Western town owned by Willie Nelson.
In 2007, Grady released their second album, entitled A Cup of Cold Poison, which was recorded at Willie Nelson's Pedernales Studio. The album features appearances by Willie Nelson, Alejandro Escovedo and Ron Hynes. The band released a single for You’re What’s Happening Baby.
In September 2007 drummer Billy Maddox left Grady due to a pre-existing health condition. The band began touring again in November 2007 with a new drummer, Nina "The Queena" Singh of Austin-based band Kitty Gordon.
Grady's next full-length album, Good As Dead, was released in Canada on C12 Records in 2009. The album contains a cover version of The Tragically Hip's Boots or Hearts, which Gordie Johnson described as "volatile", as well as the eponymous Good as Dead, penned by Johnson. The record showcases the "Cowboy Metal" sound and features backup vocals by drummer Nina Singh.
In April 2010, Gordie Johnson made his directorial debut when he wrote and directed the video for If I Was King on location in Texas. It is dedicated to Johnson's lifelong friend, comedian Eric Tunney.
Grady released the live DVD/CD Calling All My Demons during the tour in Fall 2010. Footage for the DVD was requested by Gordie Johnson from all in attendance at Grady's October 2009 show at the Pyramid Cabaret in Winnipeg, Manitoba. On Dec 27, 2010, Billy Maddox was killed in a tragic freak shooting in his house.
In August 2011 drummer Nina "The Queena" Singh left Grady to join Court Yard Hounds. Drummer Trinidad Leal from Dixie Witch has been working with the band since.
While considered an "American" band by location of establishment, most members of Grady are Canadians.

Grady Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mom says to be more careful
those trees were not prepared
we fell and scraped our elbows
sports teams, Dad wished I cared
I picked flowers and counted petals
four leaves, think you could share?
some luck would be so helpful
Let's mutilate our brains
spend nights getting our fix in
Sex scenes and video games
I don't really know that position
rents don't approve my grades
but love comes without conditions
my crush recalled my name
relieved that someone listens
candles get blown away
the appetite's expanding
it's still no piece of cake
time's not too good at standing
hold you and kiss your face
I will not let you worry
now all those bills are paid
don't grow up in a hurry
The song "Sex Scenes and Video Games" by Grady is about the pleasures and pains of growing up. The first verse portrays a sense of innocence and nostalgia as the singer reminisces about simpler times, playing outside, and counting flower petals. However, the singer's parents are shown as imposing figures who want their child to conform to societal expectations by caring about sports teams and performing better academically. The line, "some luck would be so helpful" suggests that the singer feels a sense of helplessness in this situation.
The chorus reflects a sense of escapism, as the singers seek to leave behind the pressures of growing up by getting lost in the world of sex and video games. The line, "I don't really know that position" suggests a lack of experience and, perhaps, a desire to experiment. Despite disapproval from their parents, the singer believes that love can exist without strict conditions, and thier crush's willingness to listen provides a sense of comfort in an uncertain world.
The second verse describes the physical and emotional complexities of being in a relationship. While the sexual appetite may be growing, the singer admits that it's not easy to maintain. Time flies by quickly, but the singer is determined to hold onto the present moment and not worry about the future. The final line "don't grow up in a hurry" may be interpreted as a reminder to enjoy the little things in life and not rush through childhood.

my jeans they've got some tears
My pants have a few holes in them
Mom says to be more careful
My mother reminds me to take precautions
those trees were not prepared
The trees were unaware of our collision
we fell and scraped our elbows
We got hurt and scraped our elbows
sports teams, Dad wished I cared
My father wanted me to be more interested in athletics
I picked flowers and counted petals
I gathered flowers and counted their petals
four leaves, think you could share?
Could you possibly give me one of your four-leaf clovers?
some luck would be so helpful
I would appreciate some good fortune
Let's mutilate our brains
We should damage our brains
spend nights getting our fix in
We should spend our nights getting our dose of something
Sex scenes and video games
Let's indulge in sexual activity and gaming
I don't really know that position
I am unfamiliar with that sexual position
rents don't approve my grades
My parents do not approve of my grades
but love comes without conditions
However, love is unconditional
my crush recalled my name
The person I am interested in remembered my name
relieved that someone listens
I am comforted that someone is paying attention to me
candles get blown away
Candles are extinguished by the wind
the appetite's expanding
My hunger is increasing
it's still no piece of cake
It is still not an easy task
time's not too good at standing
Time moves quickly and does not stand still
hold you and kiss your face
I want to hug and kiss you on the face
I will not let you worry
I will make sure you do not worry
now all those bills are paid
All of the bills are now fully paid
don't grow up in a hurry
Do not rush to grow up
