French recording artists Grand Tourism are comprised of Chris Canavaggio, Bob Farrel, and sound engineer Sean Henry. Plugging their own ambient electronics inside power pop, Grand Tourism also casts influential threads of funk, disco, and glam rock. They issued two singles -- "La Baie du Fakir" (1998) and "Sexy Funky" (1999) -- prior to releasing the mini-album A l'Ecouté de tes Coubes. Their eponymous studio full-length appeared on Higher Octave in spring 2001. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, Rovi
