History
Grey Area's first show was at 7th Street Entry on April 14th, 1989. In honour of the timing (tax filing deadline being the next day), the one cover song they played was The Beatles' "Tax Man." The band was augmented by John Clegg's East Side Horns on several songs, including the encore, "Aboriginal," which also featured synth backup.
They went on to perform at most of the venues in the Twin Cities, as well as touring the South and Midwest. Although the band made two studio recordings (the first on location with Bob Cain from Ambient Sound as engineer, the second at Pachyderm Studios in Cannon Falls with Dave Smith as engineer), sadly none of these recordings were officially released.
Grey Area disbanded in 1991.
