Band LeGrand

About Me

Some bands like to call themselves eclectic because they are so audacious, they do both rockers and ballads. Band LeGrand doesn't need to make such claims; a simple listen to a few of their songs and you'll realize you're dealing with some highly skilled, remarkably clever musical chameleons. The grand Pop instincts of early ELO, the inescapable, moving harmonies of The Beach Boys and the broad, theatrical song structuring of Queen form the band's creative core, but they're not above jumping into, get this, authentic, banjo-laden Dixieland Jazz if'n they feel like it. If it wasn't put together so well, it would come off like a novelty. But, while fun, Band LeGrand is no joke. Dig It: If your iPod segues Queen into Scott Joplin into The Beatles into Grandaddy, this is your new favorite band. (Mike Breen)**CityBeat - Cincinnati, OH**

Christmas song on Asthmatic Kitty Radio!

So Stephen, of The Good Players fame, phones me up and mentions that Sufjan is having a Christmas song contest. The winner of the contest trades songs with Sufjan. Sounds interesting, huh? So we wrote...
