About Me

http://stephenmillerblues.com/bluesbash.html
BIOGRAPHY:After his first appearences on stage in 1993 in various punk/rock local formations (The Obnoxious, Machine Gun...), Laurent learned more towards 60's and 70's rock in several groups, REUG (Progessive compositions), NO BREAK (blues/rock covers) , TROUBLE AFFAIRE (rock/fusion compositions), SPASSIBA (acoustic pop/rock covers)... which helped him to forge his style and took him around the North of France and to Paris.
Working on his writing experience, doing stage and studio work, this period developed his musical skill and personality which helped him to constitute his actual sound.
Joining PIMENTO in april 2002, coincided with his wish to get back to his blues/rock roots and to invest himself in song writing with Carol-Ann-Croft.
Laurent's influences are varied, ("... from punk to blues ... anyone who can make a guitar sound good " ) we can still say that amongst those who gave him the itch to play are Jimmy Page, Rory Gallagher, The Black Crowes, Slash, SRV, Keith Richards ... for the most famous ...
