about

FR – En 2010, cinq gamins qui s'emmerdaient dans leur ville cévenole ont décidé de créer leur groupe et de partir sur les traces de Bo Diddley et Muddy Waters. Reprises obscures et survitaminées des Yardbirds, Master Apprentices, Q65, arrangements explosifs, énergie à revendre, en quelques années, les principaux festivals indépendants de France et d'Europe leur ont ouvert leur scène: Le Funtastic et Purple Week-End en Espagne, le Beat Bespoké à Londres, le Festival Beat en Italie, le Berlin Beat Explosion en Allemagne, la liste est longue. Invités par le festival Tiki Oasis à San Diego, une tournée américaine a suivi en 2017.

Au fil des années le son des Grys-Grys s'est teinté de psych-punk, pour un résultat plus personnel et actuel, qui pourrait rappeler "Help" des Oh Sees, "Nonagon Infinity" de King Gizzard & the Wizard Lizard ou encore "Fuzz" le side project de Ty Segall et Charles Moothart. Ils ont acquis l'expérience nécessaire pour enfin d'atteindre leur but suprême: la confection toujours difficile du premier album, qui plus est, album de compositions originales. L'enregistrement s'est réaliser dans les studios Toe Rag à Londres sous la direction du sorcier Liam Watson déjà producteur de l'immense succès "Seven Nation Army" des White Stripes. Le disque tant attendu par une cohorte de fans est fin prêt. Une tournée de 19 dates est prévue en mai, plus de 50 dates européennes déjà planifiées dans les mois à venir. L'année 2019 sera celle des Grys-Grys. Les murs de la maison rock'n'roll n'ont pas fini de trembler...

ENG –  Time flies... and still. Les Grys-Grys waited eight years to make their debut album. Why? Because they took the time to do it right. The record you’re about to place onto your turntable is the result of eight years of hard graft, long miles, lessons learned, lovers spurned, bridges burned, respect earned.

Les Grys-Grys formed in the southern French town of Alès in 2010.
Since then they’ve honed their skills and paid their dues in innumerable clubs, bars, basements, barns, concert theatres and festivals in France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, England, Scotland, and the West Coast of the United States.

You won’t find any cheap, half-baked, cartoon-show  garage-rock-by-numbers here. This is the real deal. Much like a great chef who works only with the finest and most carefully selected ingredients to create an original and satisfying meal, Les Grys-Grys have learned to work only with the finest and most carefully selected musical influences to create an original and soul satisfying sound: the early Pretty Things and Kinks, Q65, the Masters Apprentices, the Easybeats, the Mascots, Thor’s Hammer, 13th Floor Elevators, and the Golden Dawn. Only after eight years of examining, absorbing, assimilating, dissembling, reassembling, and inhabiting these influences, did Les Gry-Grys feel ready to distill that accumulated inspiration into an album that is 100% pure, 100% real, and—with the exception of a couple of well-chosen cover versions—100% Grys-Grys.

It takes time and craft to create something timeless and authentic. And with this album, Les Grys-Grys have done exactly that. Listen and see.
