After releasing records and sharing stages with Butsenzeller and Craig Ward (dEUS) in the confrontational noise rock band A Clean Kitchen Is A Happy Kitchen, Paul Lamont hooked up with his former Hitch (1995-2010 hard touring DIY Hardcore heroes) bandmate Olivier Wychuyse to form Grand Blue Heron in 2015 as a backing project for songs written by Lamont, this quickly shifted gears to full band status slicing and dicing great portions of alternative guitar music from different eras. Known now for having a very particular, yet recognizable sound of their own, Grand Blue Heron create abrasive yet melodic songs that come to life with bloodied energy when unleashed on stage. Upon release of their debut album Hatch, the versatility of the band was confirmed by a wave of positive reviews, of which no two used the same musical references to describe the band. As a result Grand Blue Heron were invited to play alongside very diverse bands such as Black Mountain, The GlNingen, Elefant, Steak N8, White Denim, The Cult of Dom Keller as well as topping a number of bills in Flanders and France.
