Griswold is formed of Uwe Lukatsch (vocals, guitar), Michael Jedelhauser (guitar), Kerstin Petzold (bass), André Schindler (drums) and Christoph Rick (saxophone). Incidentally, the name Griswold is derived from the well-known film family around Chevy Chase. As the band was still without a name with their very first gig just around the corner, they decided on “Griswold” as a temporary solution. A lot has changed since, but the name has stuck.
