Grand Ole Party is a trio from San Diego, CA consisting of singer-drummer Kristin Gundred, guitarist John Paul Labno, and bassist Michael Krechnyak. They play catchy, funky rocknroll and kill at shows.

They are a stiff drink in a dimly lit bar. A gospel choir of chaingang workers. A love-child of the generation that grew up with punk and Dre.

They've been together just over a year and have played with bands like The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, CSS, The Elected, Nada Surf, Living Legends, Quasi, and The Album Leaf. GOP is currently recording their first album with Blake Sennett of Rilo Kiley.
