#1 Album Of The Year - MAGNET Magazine “The album is an unabashed, bombastic and unapologetic statement of purpose from one of America’s greatest living songwriters." - Paste Magazine - Album of the Week  “GBV’s hot streak continues with one of their best albums in ages."  - Brooklyn Vegan - Album of the Week Listen to new single Serene King: https://lnkfi.re/sereneking In 1994, 38-year-old school teacher Robert Pollard & his merry band recorded Bee Thousand in a Dayton, Ohio, basement on a 4-track cassette recorder. This improbable rock classic became an enormously influential album: Pitchfork and Spin have called it one of the best records of the ’90s, and Amazon picked Bee Thousand as #1 on their list of the 100 Greatest Indie Rock Albums Of All Time. A legendary live band with a rabid following, the Washington Post called GBV “the Grateful Dead equivalent for people who like Miller Lite instead of acid!”  With 14 studio albums already under their belts in 6 years, the band’s present-day line-up is nothing less than a new Golden Age of GBV.   

The Reds, Pinks & Purples is the post-indie project of Glenn Donaldson, prolific songwriter, photographer, and record collector. After many years on the fringe of acceptability, he decided to make some honest-to-god pop music, and since 2018, he has written over 200 songs and released 7 vinyl LPs on Slumberland [USA] and Tough Love [UK]. Live he appears with a five-piece band made up of musicians from his neighborhood in the Inner Richmond district of San Francisco.
