Beaux Gris Gris & the Apocalypse - Good Times End Times

Beaux Gris Gris & the Apocalypse could be considered the more grownup musical side of vocalist Greta Valenti and guitarist Robin Davey. Previously their rock band Well Hung Heart toured the States and Europe, sharing stages with The Offspring, Foreigner, Fitz & The Tantrums and 21 Pilots. Beaux Gris Gris & the Apocalypse is an altogether more roots rock oriented affair. Infusing influences from Valenti's music soaked Louisiana upbringing and Davey's Blues background. They are more than happy to let their rock flag fly when called for though' Their debut album 'Love & Murder' spawned Top 10 hits in genre charts across Europe. The album's wide-reaching appeal also earned it a #13 placement in Classic Rock Magazine's 'Top 50 Albums of the Year'. For their second album the band were less concerned with being genre specific, instead embracing collaboration and widening their musical horizon. 'Good Times End Times' sees new members Emma Jonson and Stephen Mildwater adding depth to the sound. As a result Drummer Mark Barrett's versatility and creativity is given more room to breathe. Mix engineer Arkadi, better known for his dance remixes of Maroon 5 and Kelly Clarkson, brings a modern vibrance to a classic 5 piece band set up. More than anything though, this helped let the songwriting take center stage.
