URBNET is proud to present New Music West Festival 2008:  Grand Analog at Crush Champagne Lounge

Grand Analog is unbalanced and dirty; never clean. Grand Analog is fuzzy with three coats of dust and reads like an old manual no longer in use. The music is a beautiful mess of rap'n'roll dub and soul; a hip hop slop shop of times good and bad. Calligraffiti: for the tired heavy heart, ridden with struggle and happiness.

Only a year old, Grand Analog have already impressed crowds at the Western Canadian Music Festival in Winnipeg, JunoFest and SXSW in Austin, Texas. The live show lends a hypnotic blend of poetics and experimentation of hip hop sound that is enjoyable and refreshing to any ear.

The Grand Analog Project is fronted by Odario G. Williams. Members include Darcy Ataman, Damon Mitchell, Ofield K. Williams, Alister Johnson and Arun Chaturvedi. The first single, I'll Walk Alone, is a fresh hip hop sound that blends dub and soul without missing a beat. The b-side single Get Live and Go has a sly blend of old school hip hop with rock'n'roll; this track deals with the underworld of immigration within the western world. Other singles include Around This Town and Touch Your Toes.
