  BACKGROUND   DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR  

Delusions of Grandeur LIVE  is a live performance of the classic Hardkiss album originally released on vinyl, cassette and CD in 1995 and released digitally in 2015. Delusions of Grandeur went to #1 in the Rolling Stone Magazine Alternative charts.

Delusions introduced electronic music to a wide eyed audience in the USA for the first time, and launched international DJ careers for all artists involved. Songs featured on Delusions were licensed to Sasha and Digweed's Northern Exposure and FIFA Soundtrack, and continue to be played by DJs like Lee Burridge, Seth Troxler, Maceo Plex, Sabo and Nick Warren.

The original Delusions of Grandeur album is a collaboration between four artists - Gavin, Scott and Robbie Hardkiss and David Christophere.  Gavin Hardkiss (Hawke) and David Christophere (Rabbit In The Moon) have updated the album with new versions and additional sonic layers for this live performance.  While remaining true to the original, the live performance is a contemporary immersive experience packed with original visual production and live music creation.
