Album Notes

In July of 2001 Grandevolution formed, to become another of the struggling artists competing for performance dates, record label interest, press coverage and airplay. By August, they already had enough original material to schedule gigs at local clubs in the Southern New England area including; The Middle East in Cambridge, MA, The Living Room and the Met Café both in Providence. RI, Club Cats in Pawtucket, RI, and Cargo's Cafe in Windsor Locks, CT. Just by attending the few shows they have played so far, you can see a significant interest from the audience and a growing fan base. After only a few shows, their mailing list has increased from a few family members and friends to nearly one thousand strangers...and the list continues to grow. In early November, after being together for only four months, they headed into the studio to record. Eight tracks were recorded but only six were chosen to be placed on their EP (released in April of 2002). This recording was mainly to serve as a promotional tool, and was distributed to venue promoters, A&R representatives, management companies, talent agents, college and commercial radio stations, producers, etc... Sarah handles the booking and the management for the group. She attended the Art Institute of Boston/Brookline (formerly Massachusetts Communications College) for Music Business Management and completed her internship requirement at one of the East Coast's most reputable live music venues (Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel & the Met Café). Scott designs and maintains www.grandevolution.com and also provides other promotional materials including business cards and bumper stickers. As for the music... It is suitable for the modern/alternative rock radio format. It is female fronted, heavy, loud and melodic. Every song has a catch, whether it is the melodies or the driving lead guitar that leaves you wondering, "How the hell did he play that?" The various musical influences have lead them to their unique sound. Imagine Black Sabbath, Julianna Hatfield, Radiohead, Neil Young, The Marvelous 3, Soul Asylum, 3 Colours Red, The Cult, etc. Now Imagine Grandevolution
