   About The Grand Cru


Introducing The Grand Cru, a four piece musical collective from Accrington (BB5), North West U.K.

The Grand Cru’s music draws its sound from the many influences of the group ranging from Hip Hop, Metal and Indie through to Motown and Electronica. This vast range of influence mixed with The Grand Cru’s thriving ambition to create music that is fresh and new provide the back drop for the sound you hear, blending electronic sounds with traditional instruments. The vocal content reflects strongly on the highs and lows of life in a northern town, taking in friendships lost and found, relationship matters, day to day observations and general stories of issues and misuse.

The live setup of The Grand Cru consists of two vocalists, a dj and a bass guitarist. This combination provides a blend of samples, scratching, programmed beats and melodies, with driving bass lines and a unique vocal delivery.

The Grand Cru aspire to create a style for people to enjoy, whether through live or recorded formats and to progress positively through the many different factors of the music industry.

Currently Sweden's hottest export, THOSE DANCING DAYS combine "Sweet as apple-pie pop" with a devilishly sassy Northern Soul and it's this unique combination that has the got the whole of the UK falling over itself and for good reason too!

The subtle dynamics in their songwriting of JOHN and JEHN and the balance between chaos and beauty and the mastery of heartbreaking melodies Expect beautifully skewed hymns in the key of Serge Gainsbourg.

Wakefield's THE RESEARCH are makers of fun, but also write songs that are like punches in the stomach that knock the wind out of you but afterwards you agree that you feel much better for it.

Jan 12 2008 2:45 AM

With the start of a new year comes the end of The Grand Cru. After much thought and deliberation we have taken the decision to call it a day as a band. We have been at it now for a good few years and things have started to take their toll. We have had some top times along the way, with plenty of high points to reflect on but the time has come to knock it on the head.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported us along the way; we greatly appreciate the loyal following we have had. We would also like to thank all the promoters that have supported us, special thanks going to Dared, Julian and Independent.
Our last 4 tracks are available to download in cd quality for free in the music section at www.bb5alive.co.uk/forum

Thanks,
The Grand Cru.
