Band Details

From the Promoter

The show marks the day Grand Analog’s long awaited new album “Modern Thunder” is released in Canada. The new album features collaborations with Shad, Saukrates and TALWST to Amanda Balsys of the Wilderness of Manitoba and Maylee Todd. The band’s live shows add soul to the bloodline along with frequent stage jams and off the wall spontaneity. Over the last six years, Grand Analog has left its mark on prestigious showcases and festivals such as SXSW, CMJ, Pop Montreal, the Halifax Pop Explosion, JunoFest, Breakout West and CMW plus shows supporting the Herbaliser, K-OS, Big Boi and Kardinall Offishall.

Grand Analog is a group of record collectors, musicians and self described beat junkies. You can easily find any of the GA crew DJing at various clubs around Toronto or Winnipeg. The Grand Analog sound is a beautiful mess of rap'n'roll, dub and soul. “Modern Thunder” and the band’s critically acclaimed albums, “Calligraffiti” and “Metropolis Is Burning,” boast an infectious array of soundscapes.

Each personality in this collective brings something unique to the table. Odario and DJ Ofield blame their father, a reggae DJ from the 80s, for cursing them with the love of music, bass and trouble. DJ Catalist was also born into a musical family, inheriting a vintage collection of analog keyboards and an uncanny resemblance to Frank Zappa. Warren Bray is the secret sauce on bass and TJ Garcia trips the light fantastic behind his drum kit.

“Metropolis Is Burning” was released in Canada on May 26, 2009. It hit #1 on CBC Radio 3 and the Canadian College Radio Hip Hop charts. There have been over 30 placements of Grand Analog songs in films and television shows since the album’s release including such U.S. and Canadian television series as 90210, Criminal Minds, NCIS Los Angeles, the Finder, Continuum, L.A. Complex, Franklin & Bash and many more.

Grand Analog’s new music video for “The Great Rhyme Dropper feat. Shad” has been added in rotation at MuchMusic and the single will be available for purchase on iTunes this week.
