Grand Theft

Grand Theft

Grand Theft has been played on NTS in shows including The NTS Breakfast Show w/ Flo, featured first on 18 December 2016. Songs played include Paris To Peru, Seven Wonders and Two Separate Things.

There have been at least two bands named Grand Theft.

Grand Theft is a Belgian singer-songwriter, AKA Michel van Montfort. He is assisted by musicians who played with dEUS, Sioen & Flip Kowlier.

The earlier Grand Theft was a satirical hard rock band from Mercer Island, Washington. They were actually a straight-ahead folkrock outfit called Bluebird, but they also released a self-pressed LP in 1972 under the name Grand Theft. The original album is highly sought-after by collectors, and it was reissued twice in the 1990s: first under the title "It's Eating Me Alive", and later retitled "Hiking To Eternity" (with two extra cuts from their unfinished second LP). The music was intended as a goof on hard rock bands of the day such as Grand Funk (one of their best known tunes, "Closer To Herfy's", is a direct satire of GFR's "Closer To Home") and the lyrics are often quite funny even today.
