  • Bio

    http://thegrizzlyfamily.free.fr ..THE STORY ..(en français plus bas) 1981 Vienne (30 km south of Lyon - France) - Following the tracks of the Bopkats, Dazzlers and the likes of Snappin' Boys, The BOZEFIGHTERS, first rehash of the Casas brothers and Mickey "Big Claws" Pujol, begins to travel the roads and to pour out their wild thouroughbred rock'n'roll. 1984 The band disperse, some of them make Los Mescaleros (JP, Al, Jo their brother Tonio), Mickey joins The Happy Drivers. Later on, Jo creates The Wakes. In spite of many hazards, the sacred links uniting them will be strongest. 1993 No way. our four jolly fellows, tryin' to revive the magical moments of their first musical years, decide to set up a new combo and to make it sound the most electro-acoustical possible : ..the GRIZZLY FAMILY.. was born ! Yoze Kuervo, called "the lonesome one", gets out of his den (hillbilly bear in the making) and adds a good layer of frenzy to the Grizzlies' shows. ..1994.. Their mini-CD .."Real ! Wild ! Rock !".. is released (also in red vinyl). Four songs issued by the fabulous Larsen Records. 2001 The sixth Grizzly, Noël "Nono" Jurado, delighted to take part in that crazy adventure, joins the rockin' band, with him his manyfold gifts. ..2004.. The GRIZZLY FAMILY at last release their second CD as exciting as their performances on stage : CD .. "Burning Hot"... They continue scouring their territory and their fame keeps on growing . ..2006.. New Hot CD : .."THE SPIRIT OF THE MOUNTAINS".. (Calavera Records) 2007 : Mister Nono leaves the Grizzly Family JCR studio sessions 2008/2009 : The fabulous "Electrophonic Recordings" sessions begin ! 2010 : CD .. "the JCR SESSIONS".. in JCR records (swiss label) 2011 : CD "Don't mess with the Grizzly" (Crazy Times records ) These hillbilly bears grunt and swing on a stormy and terribly catchy rythm. They play a music inspired by Hank Williams, Johnny Burnette, Ronnie Self, Chuck berry, Hasil Adkins, Don Woody, Jack Scott and some others rock'n'roll killers back from the crypt. Expect the worst but don't try to tame them : they're here for the "ROCKIN' ROLLIN' GRIZZLY DANCE". Once on stage, you must know nothin' can stop the GRIZZLY FAMILY ! ..They GOT SAVAGE !!!!!!!!.. ..THE GRIZZLY FAMILY ..(french version) 1981 - Vienne (30 km au sud de Lyon) - Dans le sillage des Bopkats, Dazzlers et autres Snappin' Boys, les BOZEFIGHTERS, première mouture des frères Casas et de Mickey "Big Claws" Pujol, commencent à arpenter les routes et à déverser leur rock'n'roll sauvage et racé. 1984 - Le groupe se disperse : certains formeront les Mescaleros (JP, Al, Jo et leur frère Tonio), Mickey rejoindra les Happy Drivers. Jo rejoindra par la suite les Wakes. 1993 - Rien à faire. Nos quatre joyeux lurons, en quête de la magie des premiers instants, décident de remonter un combo : la ..GRIZZLY FAMILY.. est née ! Yoze Kuervo, dit "le solitaire", sort alors de sa tanière et rajoute une bonne dose de frénésie aux prestations des Grizzlies. ..1994.. - Sortie du mini-CD .."REAL ! WILD ! ROCK !".. - 4 titres sur le fulminant label indépendant Larsen . 2001 - Le 6ème Grizzly, Noël "Nono" Jurado, tout heureux de participer à cette débauche d'énergie scénique et musicale, rejoint le rockin' band, y adjoignant ses multiples talents. ..2004 ..- La GRIZZLY FAMILY sort enfin sa deuxième galette :.. "BURNING HOT" ..aussi décapante que ses apparitions scéniques. 2006 Sortie du CD ..« THE SPIRIT OF THE MOUNTAINS».. : 12 titres dévastateurs ! 2007 - Mister Nono quitte la Grizzly Family, de nouveaux horizons s'ouvrant à lui. Les Grizzlies continue à tourner et à enregistrer... -Enregistrements au JCR Studio 2008/2009 -Enregistrement au fabuleux studio Electrophonic recordings ..2010.. - Sortie de .."the JCR SESSIONS" .. sur JCR records (label suisse) 2011- Sortie de "Don't mess with the Grizzly" Crazy Times records 2012 : sortie de la compilation "Rockers Kulture 3" avec la reprise "Indian Joe"
