Description in French only.
Kevin Kane a rencontré Tom Hooper pour la première fois en 1977 (alors qu’ils avaient respectivement 13 et 11 ans) après que Kevin et le frère aîné de Tom, Chris, se soient liés d’amitié autour de leur passion commune pour les Beatles, lorsqu’ils sont entrés au collège à Kelowna, en Colombie-Britannique. Kane a alors commencé à passer du temps avec les Hooper dans leur sous-sol pour des sessions de jam régulières le vendredi soir, où ils ont essentiellement appris à jouer de leurs instruments respectifs ensemble. En 1983 - influencés à parts égales par l'invasion britannique des années 60 et par l'esprit DIY, l'énergie du punk et la fraîcheur de la new wave - le trio adopte le nom The Grapes of Wrath et commence à travailler sur les chansons qui composeront leur premier EP (1984) puis leur premier album September Bowl Of Green en 1985, sorti sur le jeune label indépendant de Vancouver, Nettwerk Productions. Le groupe est rapidement signé par Capitol/EMI pour les albums Treehouse (1987, avec les tubes Peace Of Mind et Backward Town), Now And Again (1989, qui consolide leur succès avec All The Things I Wasn’t et What Was Going Through My Head), et These Days (1991, avec les hits I Am Here et You May Be Right). Grâce, entre autres, au soutien de MuchMusic, The Grapes connaît des ventes disque d’or et de platine, des concerts à guichets fermés à travers le Canada, une importante diffusion radio, et effectue deux tournées en Europe pour promouvoir des albums également sortis au Japon, en Australie et en Amérique du Sud. Puis - alors que le succès international semblait à portée de main, et pour des raisons qui restent floues - le groupe se sépare en 1992. Tom et Kevin ressuscitent The Grapes à la fin des années 1990, avec la sortie de l’album Field Trip (2000) sur le label Song Corp, qui fait faillite immédiatement après sa sortie. Ils se retrouvent à nouveau à l’été 2009 pour une série de concerts acoustiques en duo à travers la Colombie-Britannique, célébrant leur amitié durable et la musique qu’ils ont créée ensemble. L’année suivante, une proposition de festival pour une reformation complète du groupe mène au retour du batteur Chris, et les trois membres originaux enregistrent High Road (2013 - du nom de la rue où vivaient les Hooper lorsqu’ils ont commencé à jouer ensemble enfants), leur premier album de nouveaux morceaux depuis près de 22 ans. Depuis, ils se produisent régulièrement et sont sans doute l’un des groupes au line-up original les plus durables et toujours actifs dans le rock. Aujourd’hui - comme ils l’avaient brièvement fait en 2009 - Tom et Kevin repartent en tournée en duo pour interpréter la musique de The Grapes dans une formule intimiste et acoustique, partageant les histoires derrière les chansons et mettant l’accent sur les harmonies et les mélodies intemporelles de leur musique.
