About Me


PLEASE NOTE:
We are an unsigned band. We all work for a living but our music is the most important thing to us. We reply to as many messages and comments as we can - but there simply aren't enough hours in the day to reply to them all. We read EVERY message and comment we receive and your opinion is really important to us. YES, it really IS US replying to the messages. From time to time we will send out a mass comment to everyone (there's only so many ways you can say the same thing to so many friends). This is the only way we have of keeping in direct touch with so many people - if you only added us to get friends then please ignore us, please don't use our comment space to vent your venom, you accepted our friend request so we're allowed to message you, we wouldn't send it otherwise - it'll only be deleted, wasting your time and ours. We appreciate the thousands of you who have sent us your support and we truly appreciate every single one of you. Keep in touch and we hope to meet you on the road. Out Of The Gray

OOTG BIO:

UPDATED 11 January 2007.
Out Of The Gray started two years ago - when Yarky persuaded Heather and Gab that they really should let him play guitar for them. Since then we tried out a bunch of musicians - played a dozen gigs with random drummers and random bass players - until we eventually found Gabby on bass and Andy on drums.
After that it really took off: Over 60 gigs in our first year alone. A catalogue of around 15 completed songs. Radio interviews on BBC Radio Leeds. Two DVD recordings of live sets at Bolton's Albert Hall and Blackburn's King George's Hall. Gigs around the NorthWest with Ben Arthur, Four Day Hombre, Cardboard Radio, Tom Hingley. Airplay in the US. All the usual stuff a band does when it wants it's music to be heard.
In April 2006 we recorded our first EP "Sugar Coated Lies" that shows our whole band sound in all it's Glory. We got Craig back in on keyboards and headed out to Blueprint Studios (Home of Elbow's last album). The results were fantastic and we've steadily added fans and gigs since our sold out EP launch in April.
Andy OOTG in August 2006 and was replaced by Matt Tuppen. We're going back in the studio on March 14th then will be touring our first mini album at the end of April and start of May.
