About: |
In
September of 2001, the duo of Gregory Paul (vocals,
guitars and electronics) and Aaron Boucher (drums),
added bass player Tony Wensel. In April 2002, the
group signed with OnlineRock Records, a company affiliated
with one of the largest music communities on the Web,
and in September 2002, the group and label collaborated
to release Spirit & Decibels, the band's
first CD as a trio.
Before Wensel's arrival, Paul and Boucher had been
performing and recording as the Gregory Paul Group
in the unique duo configuration since 1998, winning
popular and critical success in the process. In performance
and on their recordings, the group creates a textured,
hypnotic sound-Paul's alluring vocals interwoven with
haunting, minimalist instrumentals, all propelled
by Boucher's inventive percussion and Wensel's solid
bassline. Billboard Magazine called the group "a
hybrid of atmospheric ambience and powerful acoustics."
"Hybrid" is a good word for the GPG, as
their influences are wide ranging. Echoes of world
music, hip-hop, jazz, reggae, electronica, rock and
Brit pop (to name a few) surge through the mix during
the band's spirited, electric performances and on
their CDs.
