Artists Biography / History / Notes:
NB: Do NOT use apostrophes (') in the following as this will cause problems later
This is the truth... Grand Harmony Overdrive was originally the brainchild of Christian Hayden, a Chapelizod songwriter and former collaborator with bands such as Dublin luminaries, Zeel. Having coaxed erstwhile muso, Christophe Hus (Ex. The Panic, The Sexy Dead), out of self-imposed retirement the two set about working on songs. The emphasis has always been on songs, melody, tunefulness, and not riffing for the sake of riffing. Rob Naik came on board during 2002 to form the third part of the triumvirate, an essential cog in the sound weapon, his virtuoso turns on guitar and keyboards are one of the principal features of the band's sound. At this point the Dublin natives were joined by the Waterford sticksman, Jim Prendergast. A classy performer on the drums, the M.A. in Music Technology from Trinity boasts also a chop or two on the keys. This was Dante's Lounge, joined for a short time by Owen Connors (Ex. Zeel) on bass, the quintet began to hone their sound during early 2003. Disaster struck with the discovery of living in a universe already blessed with the presence of a Dante's Lounge, a lengthy period of deliberation later however and Grand Harmony Overdrive was born! Adam Kelly was recruited to the cause following an amicable split with Owen (thanks for the lend of the drums!) who took up the bass duties with aplomb. The group worked hard on their first recording and thus was born the "Imperfect Recordings Demo". Showcasing the group's melodic rock and emphasising the pure potential of the band a series of gigs are now being booked and all should keep an eye out for a Grand Harmony Overdrive performance, near you, soon. - Christian Hayden: Vox / Guitars - Rob Naik: Guitars / Keys - Jim Prendergast: Drums / Keys - Adam Kelly: Bass - Christophe Hus: Guitars / Vox
