Biography edit

Little Bob Story were initially made up of Little Bob (Roberto Piazza) on vocals,[2] Guy-Georges Gremy (guitar), Barbe Noire (bass) and Mino Quertier (drums). They were managed by Roberto's brother and occasionally had tours booked by booking agent Christian Brunet who also booked Musicorama at the Olympia.[3]

Little Bob Story, played rock and roll music similar to pub rock, and were one of the few French groups to get some recognition in the United Kingdom.[4] In 1976 they signed with Chiswick Records and took advantage of the explosion of punk rock.[5] They were the only French act included on the New Wave compilation album, which was released in the UK in 1977.[6][7] They played the Mont-de-Marsan punk festival in both 1976 and 1977[8] but were unable to replicate their UK success in France and disbanded in virtual anonymity in 1989.[9]

From 1989 onwards, Roberto Piazza has performed under the name Little Bob.
