the grandmothers / the grandmothers of invention

In the early 1980s, Don Preston, Jimmy Carl Black and Bunk Gardner formed the Grandmothers. The band has re-formed a couple of times, almost every time with a different line-up and often with a different name. (View the concert list for line-up data.)
At a certain moment, there were even two different bands called the Grandmothers. One featured Jimmy Carl Black and Sandro Oliva. The other one (since August 2002) featured Don Preston, Bunk Gardner, Roy Estrada and Napoleon Murphy Brock and is called the Grandmothers Re:Invented (a band that does not want to be confused with the Grandmothers (of old).
