BEAUX GRIS GRIS & THE APOCALYPSE

Heavily requested on rock radio stations thanks to their unique twist on bluesy Americana, Beaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse are the kind of band that thrive in front of large crowds on hot summer days just as much as more intimate performances inside sweaty underground basements.

Formed by English guitarist Robin Davey – formerly of The Hoax – and singer Greta Valenti, the rootsy California-based group have just released their third album Hot Nostalgia Radio and are touring the UK in July.

“This band is all about putting on a show,” says Robin. “We’ll happily play for three hours. We were forced to do long shows from the beginning, jamming in between bigger bands at festivals or closing the night as people leave the event. That was our grounding – people would just be walking past, and it was our job to grab their attention and keep them there!”
