  • Bio

    ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ....................real..editor....best profile tools................real..editor....best profile tools.................. ................ .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... Peeling Grey was formed in June of 2008 by Andy Smith and Mike O'Hare. Smith had taken a stab at writing lyrics and experimenting with four track home recordings throughout previous years. With Mike's offer to use his Hollywood apartment to jam, old words and music would finally see the light of day. With Smith on vocals and bass, and Mike on guitar, the duo wrote "Faith In Forever", "Peeling Grey", and "Away From Home". The songs were based off of those old ideas that were waiting for the right time to be finished. .... As songs took shape the duo searched for a drummer. By coincidence Smith reestablished contact with an old friend, Richard Nielsen. Both had jammed in the past but mysteriously lost touch. In October of 2008 Nielsen was recruited to join the fold on drums. The band moved out of O'Hare's apartment and into Nielsen's job, being a warehouse where he also worked. "James Quarterly" shortly joined the growing setlist. .... The final piece of the puzzle was keyboardist Naren Renz, who joined in December of 2008. Renz and Smith already shared a musical past being former members of local bands such as Monochrome and Nightmare of the Elf. Work began on "The Strip", a song addressing tensions in the Middle East, "The Girl I'll Never Know", and "Soulless" in early 2009. .... The band made its debut live performance at Fonzfest with The Clash City Rockers (Clash tribute) on April 18th of that year. A string of live shows all over the Los Angeles area slowly started to develop local interest in the band, particularly from the underground Indie, Post Punk, and Goth scenes. .... A demo EP titled "The Peeling Sessions" was recorded and produced by friend James Hazley, formerly of Cockeyed Ghost. Hazley and Smith had already played together in The Chaste and both with Renz in Nightmare of the Elf. So far approximately 500 free demos have been distributed worldwide which includes the United States, Germany, and England. This resulted in growing exposure and airplay on NME Internet Radio in the UK. .... Mike O'Hare left the group in September after their performance at Silver Factory Studios. Their producer James Hazley and then Karla Blume would assume the vacancy. Christian Mendez of Pins and Needles would replace Blume in February, 2010. A successful gig at the famous Release the Bats club in March would increase further interest in the band thus landing them on the map of local upcoming acts. .... Peeling Grey was also included on the compilation "Darkness Before Dawn Vol 2". As the release was distributed at this year's WGT Festival in Germany, their demo version of "Peeling Grey" packed the dancefloors overseas. .... Despite this growing momentum co-founder Richard "Grey" Nielsen also parted ways in May of 2010. Producer James Hazley was called in for a second tour of duty, this time on drums. Plans were set in motion for not a follow up demo nor EP, but a debut full length album. Pre-production has commenced and actual recording will be held at Surplus Studios in July. Tracks from their demo along with new material such as "Young Heart" and "The End of the Road" will be featured on their upcoming release. .... Peeling Grey has their sights set on further developing their sound that is routed in Post Punk. Despite their routes and influences that span many facets of that era, the group looks towards the future of music.....Akin to the original spirit of the past. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..............
