In the midst of modern music it’s refreshing to find a band with sounds stemming from the roots of such a powerful and important decade. Sixties - influenced mod/rockers Très Bien bring substance and depth back to America with their self- titled EP. An exuberant romp of eclectic melodies that appeals to discerning music lovers of all ages, the six track EP offers up a reminiscent dose of blues and soul on songs such as “The West” and “Time For Change.” “The Way We Know How” has hints of contemporary pop while still delivering a vintage psychedelic impression. Now twenty-one the boys of Très Bien have come a long way since their beginings five years ago as an indie/punk quartet from Clearwater, Florida. After three years of touring and seven weeks of national television exposure, Tres Bien has developed into seasoned professionals, but still bring their trademark energy and youthful enthusiasm to every performance. Michael Crowe’s guitar blends an odd mix of Beatle-esque pop licks with an off-kilter gritty overtone that only adds to Michael Bostinto’s already commanding voice and presence. Cody Wilson and Ryan Metcalf provide a strong rhythm section along with powerful harmonies. At the age of 19 they caught the attention of Island Records. Impressed by the bands eccentric live show and outgoing personalities, they were invited to New York City for a showcase. With two full length albums under their belt, in the summer of 2007, they were invited to audition for FOX’s “Next Great American Band”. Selected from a pool of over 10,000 submissions, they made it to the final twelve and then on to place sixth in the competition. While living in LA during the filming of the show, the band started writing songs for their newest EP. Immediately following the show, they recorded their new album and embarked on what they call “the never ending tour.” Currently Très Bien’s music is being played on over 200 college radio stations in the US and Canada, and they have a full-length record ready for release in the fall of 2008. With no plans on stopping or slowing down, Très Bien promises a bright future. Enjoy!
