"Can I give you a hug?"

About Me

Sally Grayson played in a sweet little rock number called Standbye back from about 1997 to the year 2001, and a little more. She was flown from Minneapolis to Germany in 2003 to play in enormous sculpture of a hug (visionary and artist- Markus Merkle) with a band called "The Hug" who later recorded a couple of songs in Munich and then played at a festival called "The Hug" in a squat (called Afrika) in Amsterdam (www.the-hug.tk 2004 pics). When she is not playing V.I.P. reunion shows with Standbye, she is rockin' out with a new band called GoGaGa and sings occasionally auf Deutsch mainly because 1980 style Nena is one of her heros and because German is such a sexy language. The songs you hear on this website are rough mixes from my future band....name and new website coming soon!
