Album Notes

Live Evil is the heavy metal playground that for over 19 years existed only in the mind of wannabe rocker Laurent Martini, whose love of Motley Crue drove him to pen over 120 song lyrics during his teen-aged years as he tried (albeit in vain) to evoke the rocker lifestyle: loose women, boozing, and life on the road.

The only drawback to his dreamed super stardom and tattooed lifestyle was Martini’s upper-middle class upbringing, elite private French schooling, and living at home in San Francisco’s Marina district until the age of 25.

Born a few years back as Martini was going through a divorce, the existence of Live Evil was destined by the Gods of Rock. Playing only the songs that Martini penned in his youth, Live Evil is two-parts fist-pumping arena rock concert, one-part failed high-school talent show and ultimately an endearing cocktail about a childhood dream that refuses to fade.
