Says Garric: "I've been touring non-stop for 10 years with Alice and I've learned a lot from one of rock'n'roll's most entertaining villains. Beast� Blanc� has given me the chance to be me and let loose."

He continues: "With Beast� Blanc� we have set out to create a live, raw power, rock'n'roll band that will allow us to indulge the influences and imagery that have shaped our collective musical background."
