Grand Prix

+

Formed in 2001, grand prix began as a three piece country song singing oddity, with no drums or bass, sublime to some, ridiculous to others. The first album, 'racing lines' gave wellington such classic singles as 'donuts in the sand' and 'you don't understand'. Since then, the line-up has expanded to four, with andrew mckenzie [known as dunlop firestone in the original line-up] on guitar and vocals; davey geard [letterbox lambs, d-super] on drums and vocals; mike banks [the del burgoes] on bass; and viv treweek on trumpet. The emphasis is still on the songs themselves, but allows for a much fuller sound. The new album 'the way of the racer' was recorded at inca productions in wellington with mike gibson and gill craig in late 2004, and was released on feb 25.
