Grant began song-writing upon arriving in the sky-scraping, neon-lighted madness of Tokyo in March 2004. Initially material was written as a vehicle for the 3-piece Pavement Candy to perform on the live Tokyo live curcuit in 2004-5, but gradually the writing and recording developed into a solo abode, and Grant began recording a number of solo albums at his home studio in 2006 with the help of Pavement Candy drummer David Jackson on backing vocals. To date, Grant has stockpiled nearly 100 original songs, most of which have been released on albums from 2005's Pavement Candy debut album through to his most recent On the City Fringe (November 2008)

New track written and recorded May 2009

      Performing with Pavement Candy in Tokyo, Japan, October 2007

Grant began song-writing in earnest upon arriving in the sky-scraping, neon-lighted madness of Tokyo in March 2004.  Initially material was written as a vehicle for the 3-piece Pavement Candy (Grant, David Jackson (drums/vocals) and Mark Whiteman (keyboards) to perform on the live Tokyo live curcuit in 2004-5, but gradually the writing and recording developed into a solo abode, and Duncan began recording a number of solo albums at his home studio in Tokyo 2006 with the help of Pavement Candy drummer David Jackson on backing vocals.  Pavement Candy reformed adding Gavin MacDonald on bass at a School Festival in September 2007 and proceeded to record 2 studio albums and perform a number of live gigs in Shibuya and Roppongi before Grant returned to NZ in May 2008.
 
"Sixties rock is not dead. It’s been resurrected and dirtied up little in the music of Grant Duncan.
Songs anchored in Jimi-esque guitar licks and poppy chord progressions dominate
this retro landscape. Don’t expect any note-for-note imitations, though. Duncan is his own man...'

Heavy Clouds

This week, I’m digging Grant Duncan, who’s very UK-influenced, and has a very middle-years Beatles sound especially in this track.

This is an awesome pick-me-up song, repeating things like “it’s not your fault” and admonishing all of us to keep the ol’ chin up.
