Grand Central Band

Grand Central Band

The Grand Central Band is a New Zealand-based band formed in 1997 by Chris Melville. The band has moved through several different formations and over the years employed and guested around 60 different musicians, and esteemed local celebrities including Nathan Haines and Joel Haines, Midge Marsden, Maria Paterson (now playing bass for Dave Dobbyn), and Kim Willoughby (from When The Cat's Away).

The band have referred to now as an 'institution', having been on the scene for almost ten years. The Grand Central Band released their first album "Cook Street Sessions" (Rhythmworks) in 2000, produced by Eddie Rayner, formerly from the iconic kiwi band Split Enz and had favourable writeups. The album sold out. The band then self-produced their second album "Brightest Star" (Rhythmworks) and again had some great local reviews. They sold out of this album too.

Recently they were seen in Vanuatu at the inaugural jazz festival in Port Vila. [http://www.bluetrain.net.nz/music/grandcentralband.html]
