Trip Hop

GrandJacques est un groupe de rock français créé en 2009 sous l’impulsion de son guitariste et chanteur Jacques Adranyi et composé également de trois autres membres : Thierry Mesquita (guitare), Pierre-Luc Fauny (batterie), René Godart (basse).

Initiateur du groupe, Jacques Adranyi commence à composer et écrire seul, ses chansons prenant forme à l’aide des logiciels de musique bien utiles au 21ème siècle quand on travaille seul. Mais très vite l’envie de monter un groupe et partager sa passion se réveille : jouer à plusieurs, créer une sorte d'alchimie, quelque chose de fort, d'unique, de vivant... Jacques part donc en quête de musiciens intéressés pour l'accompagner dans la construction de ce projet. 

Lunabee and Swan met over MySpace.
It was the Spring of 2006 and Jo Swan had just made an ILYA page and was getting to grips with meeting new people in this strange new territory of self promotion.
Whilst randomly circumnavigating her way around, Jo stumbled across Lunabee's page and found that she was unable to tear herself away. In fact she wanted to move in. It was a case of 'love at first listen' and so she sent Lunabee a message saying ...''I worship the altar of Lunabee....and by the way I would love to sing on one of the songs for your next album''. A week later an entire albums worth of fabulous tracks crying out for vocals landed in the in-box of the Ilya studio computer and a beautiful relationship was born.
Lunabee and Jo would like to send Tom a great big MySpace kiss as without him they most certainly wouldn't have found eachother X : )
Some of the fruits of the Lunabee and Swan collaboration can be heard above.
