BIOGRAPHY
Their music style comes from California, but Grand Bastard Deluxe are from
Lausanne, Switzerland. Their motivation is to bring you well being with their
catchy and sweety pop punk.
2003
In October, the first songs are written by the band. Two months later, they
record their first demo at AUM Recording in one day. Two crappy shows in front
of drunken people end the first year of the band.
2004
This year starts well with their first official show. GBD play at the ex-dolce
vita in Lausanne and the gig is a success. A few months later, the four
punkrockers have played around 15 shows and shared the stage with famous bands
like Ska-P (es), The Vandals (usa), La Ruda Salska (fr), Never Heard Of It
(usa), Superbus (fr), Tafta (ch), Mother Kingdom (ch), The summer and the sun
are back: its time for the band to record the new songs they wrote! This EP
titled Still At School contains five explosive, melodic and fast tracks. Grand
Bastard Deluxe will then increase the number of shows. At the end of the year,
the band wants more power in his music. Greg, as the second guitarist, reaches
the formation.
2005
Full of promises! Its probably the best way to describe this year The guys play
many shows with some famous European and American formations, record the
preproduction for their first full-length album and last but not least, win the
third price (CHF 10000) of the MyCoke Music Competition (Coca-Cola & Yamaha)
over 420 other bands! Then Keetch Clothing, a Swiss clothing company, proposes
the band to integrate into their Music team to represent their products. GBD
are then part of this team with bands like Watcha, Clawfinger, Lofofora or
Meshuggah
2006
This year is the release of the first album Love, Stars & Broken Hearts (distr.
by Irascible). The band is invited to play in several venues but devotes most
of his time to record the 10 songs that were chosen to appear on the CD
(produced with the help of many sponsors). A video clip for the song Not The
Way (directed by Victor Jaquier) is also filmed and gives the band the chance
to have regular TV appearances. Many shows are planned (Switzerland and foreign countries) for the next months and next year, so be prepared!
