Grand Eugène

Bio

Grand Eugène is an Indie Rock band with Dream Pop sounds based in Montreal. It was on the corner of a table in an apartment on Commercial Street in Vancouver that the band’s first songs were born. Demos were quickly recorded with a computer microphone; they made the round trip by e-mail to Montreal, leaving audible the exchanges distorted as much by the Rockies as by the waves of the pacific.

The songs of the group testify to an assumed vulnerability in the texts. Worked fast, the words are sung as one speaks, sheltered from an overly complex language. It is perhaps the desire to be understood in French in an English-speaking city that pushed the texts in this direction. In any case, the language is of little importance, because on stage, the music of Grand Eugène makes you dance and move.

The group is made up of Melyssa Lemieux on vocals, Jeremy Lachance on guitar and composition, Olivier Tanguay on drums, Nassim Dib-Mudie on keyboards and Greg Tremblay-Meadors on bass.
