Biography

The Montreal-based musical formation Monogrenade, with Jean-Michel Pigeon (keyboard, guitar, vocals), Frederic B. Girard (vocals), Mathieu Collette (drums, electro), François Lessard (bass) and Marianne Houle (Cello) offers a rich variety of textures and soundscapes. Their exciting melodies, haunting rhythms and aerial pop create a unique and eclectic assortment. Working on a first disc since the fall of 2008, the members of Monogrenade have known each other for many years. For the first time, they all gathered around a single project which adds the musical experiences and expertise of each, creating a unique sound with many faces. With La saveur des fruits, the group’s first EP, the four musicians have made a record that is sometimes introspective and melancholic, sometimes energetic and crazy.

Crew

Frédéric Beaulieu-Girard: lead vocals
Jean-Michel Pigeon: keyboard, guitar, lead and back vocals

Press quotes

Monogrenade vous ravira avec son goût savoureux et raffiné...
Stéphanie Gagnon, Bande à Part

Des pointes post-rock abrasives, un folk fragile, des mélodies poignantes et, surtout, une pop francophone évocatrice et rafraîchissante...
Olivier Robillard-Laveaux, Voir

Réalisation soignée mais vivante, arrangements variés... Industrie queb, prend note: c’est comme ça qu’on fait de la pop moderne en 2009.
Nightlife Magazine

Monogrenade, une vraie bombe à la sauce Radiohead et Karkwa...
Boulimique de musique
