Thu 19th The Luminaire presents GRAND DRIVE + Petra Jean Phillipson
Doors 7.30 Self-produced in their own south London studio ('The Premise’), Grand Drive's fifth album 'Everyone’ comes 10 years after their debut single 'Tell It Like It Is' and marks the return of brothers Danny and Julian Wilson to Loose Music: the label that yielded their first LPs 'Road Music' and 'True Love And High Adventure' ("the first stone-cold classic of the 21st Century", raved Sleazenation) - records recently cited by Romeo Stodart as an influence on The Magic Numbers. The Wilson brothers kept busy in their time away from Loose. A major label deal with BMG saw the re-release of the two aforementioned titles plus two more acclaimed albums ('See The Morning In' and 'The Lights In This Town Are Too Many To Count'), several 'A' list singles courtesy of BBC Radio 2, tours of the USA and Europe and the means to set up their own studio. In addition Julian has toured the world playing keyboards for Damien Dempsey and has successfully launched the Wonky Atlas imprint, while Danny recently released his own solo set The Famous Mad Mile on French imprint Fargo, which has seen him touring throughout Europe and as far afield as Australia. Alongside long-time associate Ed Balch, Danny and Julian - with a little bit of help from their friends (notably Pete Wareham of Acoustic Ladyland who adds the sublime saxophone part to End Of Duty) - have now produced an album that contains all the classic Grand Drive trademarks, namely brilliant, evocative songwriting that's rich in harmony and heavy in soul, played with an insistent determination to stay true to themselves. |
