Home About Song Lyrics Photos Contact Links About Groovy Uncle Groovy Uncle is the solo project of Medway musician Glenn Prangnell. Glenn formed his first band, The Offbeats, in 1983 who soon became a staple of the Medway Bands scene. Playing at popular venues such as the now long gone and sadly missed MIC club alongside such luminaries as The Prisoners, The Dentists, The Claim and The Milkshakes (featuring the now much respected artist and former "Stuckist" Billy Childish), the band went their separate ways in 1987 after recording just one album, "In Rhythm-Off Beat". Glenn then formed his next band with ex-Milkshakes drummer Bruce Brand, Johnny Barker and Johnny Gawen. The Kravin’ A’s recorded one album-the garage classic "Krave On"- and an E.P "Pushin’ and A’ Shovin’". They finally split in 1991 when Glenn joined Rock’n’Roll party band Johnny and The Bandits who morphed into Goodchilde and started to play original material. This band comprised Allan Crockford, Johnny Barker and Wolf Howard. Two albums-"Elizabeth’s Talking Straight Into My Head" and "Straight Out The Fridge"-and a single-"Sarapeutic"/"Chips With Everything"-were recorded before Goodchilde finally called it a day in 1997. After a couple of years in the wilderness, Glenn recorded a six track demo of new material with Allan Crockford and Darryl Hartley under the " joke" name of Groovy Uncle. The name came about after a review of a David Bowie performance in which a critic described him "prancing about like some groovy uncle at a family disco". The three-piece Groovy Uncle dissolved but Glenn carried on writing and recording solo and eventually plucked up courage to put some songs on My Space in February 2007.
