Bran Van 3000 (also known as Bran Van and BV3) is an electronica collective from Montreal, Canada. It was founded by the DJ James Di Salvio, collaborating on a number of songs with Stephane Moraille, Sara Johnston, Steve “Liquid” Hawley, Jayne Hill, Québécois rock star Jean Leloup and other musicians.
As of summer 2002, the band’s website indicated that they were not working on new material or touring, nor did they have any plans to do so, but it was later announced that they were working on a third album, Rosé, which was released in Canada on October 30th 2007 and in the US on November 27, 2007. Rosé was co-produced by James Di Salvio and Sara Johnston with the collaboration of Fat Lip, Max-A-Million, Swanza, Chris Opperman, and others. The album was written in Los Angeles and was recorded at Depeche Mode’s studio and in Hollywood at Steve Vai’s Studio. On July 1, 2008, the group got back together, on stage, at the Montreal International Jazz Festival, playing songs off of Rosé as well as some of their previous hits, in front of a crowd numbering over 125,000.
