Things are looking good for Grandadbob. The quirky house music duo of Dave Johnson and Vanessa Robinson released their debut album, "Waltzes for Weirdos," on Fatboy Slim's Southern Fried label to rave reviews in Britain last year and are about to tour Japan with the wild and crazy DJ himself. Now that success is in hand, will Grandadbob get serious?
"Well, we're getting ready to make a new album," says Johnson over the phone from Sheffield, an industrial city in the north of England. "And that's totally different because you actually have to sit down and come up with something, whereas before we were just knocking things off, seeing what happened. It's a different sort of intensity. It can be frustrating."
Johnson, however, hardly sounds frustrated, and Robinson, who seems to be sitting behind him, occasionally interjects something incomprehensible, or laughs giddily.
