Hey! Who are we speaking with?
I’m Nicole and I’m the singer for Shaded Grey.
Where did you grow up?
I grew up in a small town in the Yarra Valley called Gladysdale.
How long have you been playing together?
We’ve been playing together for about five years now, forming in VCE music in high school.
Tell us about how you went about putting your EP together?
Originally we were in the studio to record a single and a B side, but we were so happy with how things were going two tracks pretty quickly became seven tracks, and sure enough we produced our first EP.
What can a punter expect from your live show?
You can expect a bunch of really good mates with a fun performance that will no doubt leave you wanting more from our catchy tunes.
What do you love about making music?
I love how we generally all have an input into how each song is written, and we’re so supportive of each other’s ideas. There’s nothing better than the excitement it brings all of us when a new song falls into place and we play it for hours on end, jumping around in the rehearsal room.
What do you hate about the music industry?
There are so few live music venues for local acts now, whenever we play a show, we’re asking our fans to travel long distances to come and see us. It’s hard on them, which only makes us love them more.
Why should everyone come and see your band?
When Shaded Grey play we turn a show into an event, [it’s] pop/rock at its finest.
Do yourself a favour and see SHADED GREY launch their EP on Saturday November 15 at The Village Green. $10 on the door.
