Band Website: gone daddy gone! We don't exist anymore!
Band Members: Until Greyn called it quits on Wednesday the 11th of October 2006, Greyn's members were: Sarah Markewich (New York-Kortrijk) - singer, baker and big-mouth; Peter Dewilde (Peter sadly passed away on 20 November 2007 after a hard battle with cancer - may he rest in peace) (Wetteren)- Guitar, backing vocals and Mr. Nice guy; Jan Dhaene - keyboards, good-looks and groupie-magnet; Tom Deman (Waregem) - Bass and serious face; Filip Tanghe (Kortrijk) - drums, sweat and noise-maker... ANYONE LOOKING FOR A SINGER?????!!!!
Influences: Sarah the singer loves Zita Swoon and Ani Difranco but grew up on Pat Benatar, Stevie Nicks, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. She also dabbled in Iron Maiden and Accept for a while and was a huge (pre-1984) Van Halen fan and followed Living Colour around for a couple of years. She'd love to think Greyn's music could capture the best of all of the above but sadly she'll never have a bulge in her jeans as big as Robert Plant does. And as much as her Early-80s feathered-hair days are coming back, her hard-rocking -- as well as her pot-smoking hippy days -- are behind her...
Before he passed away on 20 November 2007 from a hard battle with cancer, Peter the guitar player was full of 1990s guitar rock influence. The boy couldn't help himself. There was no escaping it. We'll miss his sounds!
Jan the keyboard-player, Tom the bass player and Filip the drummer don't talk much about the music that runs through their veins and turns them on. If you can figure out who they are stealing their riffs from, let us know!
Sounds Like: What other people have said about various Greyn songs and sounds : Sleater-Kinney (vocals), PJ Harvey (vocals and sound) meets Primus (bass), some 4AD sound-scapey stuff, The Gossip (if sped up and given more bass), Grace Slick (manly-vocals), Nathalie Merchant (vocals), Magnapop (Route 59)... we're actually wondering with our 4 new songs so feel free to let us know...
