Très bien!

Très Bien! is a "beatle-esque power-pop" group from Clearwater, Florida. They were one of the bands chosen to audition for The Next Great American Band. The members consist of Mikey B on lead vocals, keyboards, and guitar with Cody Wilson on bass and back up vocals, Michael James Crowe on lead guitar and harmonies, and Ryan Parker Metcalf on drums and harmonies. Crowe met Cody when he was supposed to fight him back in August 2001. They were the only ones that didn't want to fight, so they became friends. Two days later, Crowe goes over to Cody's and meets Mikey B! Cody and Mikey then formed Tocar La Guitara. This is also when Crowe started learning and playing guitar.

In the middle of 2002 Mikey and Cody formed This Black Vegas, a short lived hardcore band with Mike Ristoff. The band soon split, with Cody wanting to play something more rock 'n roll based. Mikey and Cody soon wrote future Très Bien songs, I Wouldn't Dare, The Goods and Got My Way. Crowe heard the songs and wanted to join, so he and Ryan "tried out" on the same day. The band's first name was Touring Maine and they mostly played with hardcore bands in the Clearwater/Tampa area. They were known for their highly entertaining live shows that were full of energy and crazy antics on stage. Four months after forming Touring Maine, they changed their name to Très Bien! In October 2003 they played a show at State Theatre in downtown St. Pete and released it as LIVE! at State. Very few copies were made and it is very rare to find one to this day. In November of 2004 they recorded their first full length in one day, ...Is Calling, at Panda Studios with Producer George Harris. (taken from Last.fm)

In fall 2007, Très Bien! was one of twelve bands chosen to compete for the title of The Next Great American Band on the FOX reality show of that name. The band were eliminated from the show on November 30, 2007.
