Out Of The Gray started nearly 18 months 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 50 gigs in our first year alone. A catalogue of around 15 completed songs. Radio interviews. DVDs going to the MIDEM festival in Cannes. Gigs around the NorthWest with Ben Arthur, Four Day Hombre, Cardboard Radio, Tom Hingley - you name it. Airplay in the US. All the usual stuff a band does when it wants it's music to be heard. Yet despite all this we still only have a DVD of our performance at the Albert Halls, a few bootleg live recordings and one recording we made after just 3 weeks back in those early days. So a couple of weeks ago we finally went and recorded an EP 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 our launch night was sold out. Yarky, Out Of The Gray
