About The Great Artiste

The Great Artiste is an alternative-rock band formed during 2011 in Nancy, eastern France. Their sound consists of a bass filling the space, explosive drums and sharp guitar melodies. The name comes from the namesake bomber, which participated in the Nagasaki and Hiroshima missions and inspired them a sound analogy because of his B-29 noisy propellers and the apocalyptic massive sound effects produced by the bombings. This band is the story of four young people howling the emergency of their times, loving life, art, and living in the grace of Lou Reed, Jason Pierce and of all other fucked up children, punks, prostitutes, and western kinsman of the sun. Greta is the diminutive name of the band and its personification. She's an anti-heroin in which each individual personalities of the quartet is fused to ride into "the thing".
