  • Bio

    Grand Café is a Norwegian rock band from Oslo, Norway. Formed in 2001 by Christer Krogh (vocals / guitars) and Kenneth Sandberg (bass / vocals). Grand Café started out as a massive three-piece band heavily influenced by the late sixties Detroit rock scene. This resulted in the critically acclaimed EP 'Rock & Roll Revolution' (2002). The following years consisted of excessive touring including special guest performances with Alice Cooper, Turbonegro etc. Grand Café also contributes on the Ramones Tribute 'Leaving Home' (Ignorance is Bliss) and 'A Scandinavian Tribute to Roky Erickson' (Alien I Creator). 'Put A Little Grease On My Axe' is Grand Cafés first full-length album. It was released in October 2008. By now the line-up has changed. Grand Café now includes a ferocious Hammond B3 organ. This feelgood boogie/soul album turns people on to Grand Café in Scandinavia as well as the rest of Europe. The following tour also includes a new drummer. This handsome foursome is now by far the most rocking and groovy Norwegian outfit. With hits like 'Leave This Town' and 'Take What You Want' numerous radio stations lists Grand Café. The soul influenced 7 inch vinyl single 'Let Loose' is released in the wake of ' Put A Little Grease On My Axe' This single also receives fantastic reviews. In the summer of 2009, Grand Café returns to the studio to write and record songs for their next album. Together with producer Lars Volsdal, the band generates a whole new sound. Grand Café now brings the listener in to a much darker landscape than before. On stage this is the band you want to see over and over again. With the massive monster that is the Hammond B3 organ on one wing, a screaming but stern guitar on the other. A thunderbolt percussions artillery and the playful, heavy bass that hits you right in the gut. In addition to four beautiful and firm male singing voices that takes you on a journey through joy and sorrow. ..
