Group Du Jour was founded by Daniel Crommie and Bo & Paul Parker in Portland, Oregon in 1983 after Daniel Crommie's previous eclectic folk band "Continuum" folded. Joining with Bo & Paul Parker, Group Du Jour started as a contemporary pop/folk conglomerate until coalescing into a more experimental "techno/ethnic" rock-based sound following their groundbreaking "Forgotten Colors" in 1986. Gathering momentum the band gained recognition in places such as England, Russia and Yugoslavia in a time when they opened for artists such as Richard Barone, Suzanne Vega and Obo Addy. 1990's "Down to the Wire" was voted as one of the year's best albums by Seattle's Rocket magazine. "The Mystery Plays" (1992) was an ambitious production with some of the bands best playing - but was largely ignored by the press as grunge pushed it's way into the pop marketplace. The New Weave artist compilation "Timecode" (1995) featured two more songs, "Mojo Sleeping" and "Stranger's in the House" as the band concentrated on individual projects in the mid-90's. With the new millennium unfurling, watch as a revitalized Group Du Jour celebrate 21+ years together with concert performances and new recording projects in the works.
