Hauteville

Hauteville is a French hard rock/aor/progressive rock band. The recording of a self produced EP in Paris in the middle of the 90ies brought the Hautevnille project to life. Their unique style cannot be called progressive, AOR or hard rock FM... It is probably a little of each... Smack in the middle of the post-grunge period, this type of profile is nevertheless not a leaning, an artistic orientation or a colour but rather a pathology. They dont care.

At this point, the sextet is made up of Cyril GRIMAUD (vocals), Lydie GOSSELIN (background vocals), Laurent OBER (bass), Didier THERY (keyboards), Denis TURMEL (guitars) and Vincent TURMEL (drums). The CD is self-made, Didier THERY at the controls takes off with the recording, the mixing...

The band gives quite a few gigs in small venues and at festivals and occasionally works with its counterparts. In a nutshell, the band follows the usual path of developing artists although their music genre doesnt allow for easy access neither to general public rock media nor to the most popular scenes.
Again, they dont care.

The band keeps working, rehearsing, composing and releases, under French label Brennus, a first album in 1998. This album receives an excellent welcome from the hard and progressive musical press both French and international.
