Erik Griffin (Workaholics) Signs to Sideonedummy
Actor/comedian Erik Griffin recently joined forces with punk label Sideonedummy to release his debut album, Technical Foul: Volume One. The album is set to drop March 12 and will mark the first comedic signing for Sideonedummy. Personally, this doesn’t come as shocking news to me because label owner Joe Sib is known for his love of comedy as well as performing comedy shows himself.
Griffin is known for his comedic observations about life, love and self-evaluation. Regarding the new signing, he said:
“I’m excited to be the official dummy on the label. Indie rock and comedy are definitely second cousins,” says Griffin. Joe Sib, co-founder of Side One Dummy Records, shares the comedian’s enthusiasm, saying, “I am so excited (I mean stoked!) that SideOneDummy will be releasing our first full-length comedy record with Erik. With Erik’s material and delivery, I have found myself gasping for air while trying to see through a sea of tears from laughing so hard.”
He is probably most recognized from his reoccurring role on Comedy Central’s Workaholics as Montez Walker. He’s appeared on various other shows including The Payaso Comedy Slam, Comedy Central’s Live At Gotham, Showtime’s Comics Without Borders, and the nationally syndicated Comics Unleashed. He has also appeared in the History Channel’s Surviving the Holidays with Lewis Black and the Tribeca Film Festival Documentary Just Like Us.
