California’s genre-bending roots-rock renegades Beaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse are cranking up the chaos with their monumental new live album and concert film, Hot Nostalgia Radio Live, set to explode on November 7, 2025. Captured at the intimate Corn Exchange in Devizes—hometown turf for co-founder Robin Davey—this 24-track, two-hour sonic storm bottles the band’s explosive energy, raw soul, and unforgettable guest spots from blues firebrands Jon Amor, guitar wizard Ruzz Evans, original Apocalypse key wizard Emma Jonson, and more. Available in killer collector’s editions—a Triple Vinyl Set for analog obsessives or a Double CD + Blu-Ray Concert Film bundle packing extra tracks—this release is the ultimate portal to a Beaux Gris Gris show: pure pandemonium, heart-pounding fun, and communal catharsis.
As frontwoman Greta Valenti (the self-proclaimed “Queen” of the Apocalypse) declares, “This live record and concert film is the closest you can get to experiencing a Beaux Gris Gris show without being there. It’s chaos, it’s fun, it’s heart, and it’s exactly what we love to do—connect people through music and energy.” Robin Davey chimes in: “We wanted to capture the rawness and soul of our live show in its purest form. It’s a celebration of the band, the fans, and the community that has built up around us.”
Dropping amid their most ambitious jaunt yet—a three-week European sprint followed by a two-week UK rampage, complete with a full Horns of The Apocalypse section and rotating guests—the timing couldn’t be hotter. The UK leg wraps with a triumphant homecoming blowout at The Corn Exchange on December 5, 2025 (Davey’s birthday bash and tour finale). Heads up: This is your last shot to catch them live for a spell, as the band dives into their next studio album post-tour.
Pre-save Hot Nostalgia Radio Live now and dive into the official video for “Trouble is Coming Live” from the concert film:
From New Orleans voodoo blues to British folk-soul swagger, Beaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse have carved a cult following since their 2018 inception, blending Greta Valenti‘s fierce vocals and percussion with Robin Davey‘s Hoax-honed guitar sorcery. Their 2024 studio triumph Hot Nostalgia Radio (14 tracks of pop-rock gold, hailed by Metal Talk as a “soulful road trip”) set the stage; now, this live opus immortalizes their epic one-of-a-kind shows. As Music-News raved, they’re “one of the most exciting bands on the scene,” with Get Ready To Rock calling their work “superbly crafted.”
Hot Nostalgia Radio Live: Tracklist, Formats, and Guest Glory
Clocking in at a blistering two hours, Hot Nostalgia Radio Live is a 24-track testament to the band’s genre-defying prowess—roots-rock riffs, soulful howls, and horn-fueled frenzy drawn from their 2024 studio counterpart and fan-favorite deep cuts. Recorded with the full Horns of The Apocalypse (Alex Jefferis on sax, Steve Fidler on trombone, Patrick Leith on baritone sax), it features electric cameos that turn tracks into transcendent jams.
While the full tracklist teases more reveals, expect high-voltage renditions of singles like “Satisfy Your Queen” (Planet Rock’s #3 track of the week) and “Watching the World Fall Down”, plus bootleg-style boot-stompers from their UK 2023 run. The Blu-Ray edition amps it up with bonus songs, delivering the full visual feast of Devizes’ sweat-soaked stage.
Formats breakdown:
| Format | Details | Why Grab It? |
|---|---|---|
| Triple Vinyl Set | 24 tracks on three slabs of wax—perfect for spinning that analog apocalypse. | For collectors craving the crackle of live grooves in your living room. |
| Double CD + Blu-Ray | Audio on two discs + full concert film with extras. | The complete immersion: Sound and sight of the chaos, straight to your screen. |
Both editions ship via Bandcamp or the band’s shop, with custom packaging echoing their DIY ethos. As Musipedia of Metal noted of their studio work, this could be “one of the pop-rock records of the year”—live edition included.

The Beaux Gris Gris Vibe: From New Orleans Roots to Global Road Warriors
Born from Greta Valenti‘s Louisiana fire (ex-Well Hung Heart) and Robin Davey‘s British Blues Hall of Fame cred (The Hoax), Beaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse fuse American folk-soul with UK blues grit, creating a sound that’s equal parts voodoo ritual and barroom brawl. Their 2023 UK bootlegs (full concerts from Coulsdon, Brecon, Ledbury) whetted appetites; Hot Nostalgia Radio (2024) delivered the studio polish; now, Hot Nostalgia Radio Live seals their live legend.
Backed by Stephen Mildwater (bass/vox), Sam Robertson (keys/accordion/vox), Emma Jonson (keys/piano), and Tom Rasulo (drums/vox), they’ve stormed Europe with epic shows that Metal Talk calls “nostalgic yet modern and captivating.” This release and tour? A victory lap for the community that’s turned their chaos into a movement.
