Cluj-Napoca, Romania

Grimus is the name of at least three different artists:
1. A Romanian band from Cluj-Napoca.
2. An American band from Elizabeth New Jersey.
3. An Australian artist named Pierre Proske.

1. The alternative rock band from Cluj-Napoca, Romania.

Grimus is the (approximate) anagram of the word “simurgh” (a gigantic bird in Persian mythology). It is also the first novel of the Indian-born writer Salman Rushdie who created this anagram himself. The abstruse and tyrannical character of the novel inspired the name of the band.

Line-up: Bogdan Mezofi (vocals), Cristi Csapo (guitar), Vali Răuca (guitar), Lehel Kiss (keyboard), Titus Vădan (bass) and Tamas Adorjani (drums).

While students in different universities in Cluj-Napoca, Grimus started out as a 5 piece rock band under the name of Revers. They quickly changed name and expanded their sound with keyboards. Grimus then underwent frequent band member changes; at the time the band also recorded a 3 song demo, which was played by various radios around Europe, notably Solitude which was declared Song of the Year 2006 by CityFM. The band enlarged its perspectives by entering under the auspices of Underdog, building a solid fanbase in Romania.

In 2007 the band was invited at all major festivals in Romania and played regularly in various pubs. In 2007 Grimus also won the National Final of the Global Battle of the Bands and represented Romania in the World Final in December that year.

In 2008 Grimus released its first full-length album - Panikon.
