Hailing from California, this dynamic Roots-Rock ensemble has been steadily gaining traction throughout the US, UK and Europe, captivating audiences with their genre-defying sound and extraordinarily dynamic live performances. With "HOT NOSTALGIA RADIO," BEAUX GRIS GRIS continues to push musical boundaries, offering a 14-track odyssey that pays homage to classic songwriting while embracing the diverse influences that have shaped their artistic journey. The album kicks off in spectacular fashion with the electrifying rock anthem " Oh Yeah!". Fueled by gritty rock ‘n’ roll riffs and a powerhouse chorus, the track commands attention from start to finish, delivering an unrelenting sonic experience that leaves listeners craving for more.
True to their signature style, BEAUX GRIS GRIS & THE APOCALYPSE defy easy categorization with "HOT NOSTALGIA RADIO". As lead vocalist and songwriter Greta Valenti explains, "We've poured over four years of creativity into this album. Despite the challenges of the pandemic, we remained committed to crafting timeless, soul-stirring melodies that resonate with our audience on a profound level. Each song is crafted to be a standout, serving as a testament to our evolution as artists." Greta continues, "While our sound may traverse the realms of rock, blues, soul, Americana, and singer-songwriter, at its core, each track is a concise pop gem. Our fans appreciate good music, regardless of genre, and we strive to deliver an experience that transcends boundaries and fosters pure enjoyment."
Guitarist Robin Davey echoes this sentiment, noting, "Our approach pays homage to the legacy of bands like the Beatles, who effortlessly traversed diverse musical landscapes while maintaining a distinctive identity. While we may not sound like the Beatles, I believe our music possesses that same sense of authenticity and individuality that defines Beaux Gris Gris."
