The Gruesomes - Santa Claus

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

An oldie but a groovie: The Gruesomes from Montréal, Québec, a band that is still around and synonymous with Canada's 1960s scene, has a Christmas song called 'Santa Claus'. Feel free to rock out to this old treasure while chopping your Christmas veggies like I do.

Their signature look is a cross between the Beatles and the animated characters The Gruesome Family, which some of you might know from The Flinstones. The show also featured a Beatles-inspired band call the The Way Outs, while The Gruesome Family were a nodd to the Addams Family. Both of these influences are definitely part of the band in spirit as well.

If anybody wants to help The Gruesomes get bookings in Europe in 2025, follow them on Facebook and get in touch!
