I'm out of the loop Sean, so help me out here. What are these guys all about?

[sean.bonner]

These guys are all about layered jam music (not as extended as Jimmy Swift though). Catchy ass tunes, and an amazing live show make this torrent worth a look. I suggest you snag it and just see for yourself whether or not you like it. Here's there bio from <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.maplemusic.com">www.maplemusic.com</a><!-- w --> . (The bio is a little outdated... Flies In The No Fly was released in Spring '05, and they are currently just started recording their next release.)

------------------------

Hailing from Eastern Canada, Grand Theft Bus has garnered a reputation as one of Canada’s busiest and most exciting new bands. Although known for their sprawling exploratory live performances, the group’s first studio effort Birth of Confusion was extremely well received by both critics and fans alike, and serves well as an introductory probe into their vast repertoire of original material. On this album you’ll find an eclectic mix of tight, concise vocally driven pop songs to progressive instrumental compositions. Birth of Confusion bodes well as a solid debut and a stepping-stone as to what this group can offer in the future. This band is concerned with reinventing themselves musically and creating on their own terms. Grand Theft Bus develops their songs with unlimited creative freedom while maintaining the utmost respect for the listener. This band loves making music.

Since it’s inception in 2000 the band has performed over 400 shows, including sell out shows in Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. Grand Theft Bus has also been a mainstay on the summer festival circuit including sold out performances at the Atlantic Jazz Festival, the Evolve Festival, Burlington Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom Music Festival and the Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival in Fredericton, New Brunswick. In their travels the band has had the honour of sharing the stage with Canadian rock icons The Rheostatics, The New Deal, and Righteous Babe recording artists Drums and Tuba.

Grand Theft Bus is excited about the upcoming release of their sophomore album, Flies in the No Fly. This recording offers a very healthy evolution of the band, an array of experimental rock songs, focused on melody and texture. The band truly believes they have grown musically and with this album can offer something very accessible yet interesting and a bit off the wall. Flies in the No Fly contains songs you’ll find humming to yourself after a first listen and textures that will continue to surprise after multiple listens. This is new music and this band loves making music.
