Three To See:
Three Local Bands To See Live

by John Kujawski

Field of Grey | St. Louis has a wide variety of musical acts throughout the city but there are certainly many concertgoers who demand to see a good solid rock band. Field of Grey is a band that is sure to please this type of live music fan whose field of interest demands the use of the electric guitar. Throughout 2005, this four-piece has continued to get better and better, and their two-guitar sound couldn’t be any more solid. There’s no shortage of great guitar riffs and solid drumbeats in the band’s entertaining stage show. Bassist Robert Lloyd (who has played in several local bands) is always lively during performances, while lead singer/guitarist Blackie Starks has a strong stage presence and keeps between-song talking to a minimum. When he does address the audience, people seem eager to hear what he will say, having already been drawn in to the performance.

"Kite Flix video"

"I come across a song like American Beauty and I grin and crank up the volume. I can't wait to mix it into my new kitesurfing movie - "The Bahamas Kite Race 2005". When I heard the opening guitar riff on American Beauty I instantly knew I was listening to a song that is destined to become a hit. Field of Grey rocks! " - A brutal 50 mile nautical endurance race from Florida to the Bahamas. Being strapped to a kiteboard is like riding a rocket. Adding a song like American Beauty is the rocket fuel we need to boost us to new heights.
(screenplay film credits include Malicious starring Molly Ringwald, Scanner Cop starring Daniel Quinn & Mission of Justice starring Brigitte Neilsen.)

Bio

The band broke into the local scene with tremendous force in the summer of 2004 and began touring the United States soon after. Composed of four well versed and highly experienced musicians from several other successful bands, Field of Grey knew its goals were attainable in a short amount of time and they set out to accomplish everyone of those goals.

After signing with the indie label Level 3 Records in June 2005, their debut release WARNING, was recorded in November of 2005 and has already shown significant album sales worldwide and a briskly growing fan base as well. The band chose platinum producer Scott Spelbring (Jason Mraz, SR-71, Plunge, and The Speaks) of Dragonfly East Studios to put his magic touch on the record and, in less than a month, the 12 song record was complete after a myriad of 14 to 16 hour day sessions. WARNING was then sent off to Grammy winner Jay Frigoletto (Shinedown, Oasis, INXS) for mastering and is currently being pushed to radio by Randy Sadd (The Black Crowes, Josh Joplin Group, Shawn Mullins, Tag Team) of Protocol Entertainment. Randy's push and the rabid fanbase have already garnered Warning as album of the week on St Louis' own KSHE 95 and American Beauty has been charting on major FM stations nationwide as well as XM and Sirius Sattellite radio.
Warning features guest drummer Kevin Murphy (Tonic, Sheryl Crowe, Jimmie's Chicken Shack) on several of the album's tracks.

The band's ever growing and dedicated fan base has become such an integral part of the band's repertoire that a drink was created by a fan and dubbed The American Beauty in honor of their first release. American Beauty, the drink and first release have already infected numerous venues throughout the country. The band's philosophy on fans, "We don’t have fans, we have friends all over the world who just happen to like our music" has proven to be a formula for success in such that the members are in constant contact with the fans through their websites and Instant Messages. This ritual has lead to a loyalty unseen in a band of this degree. Fans are known to drive from as far as four states away to catch Field of Grey live.

One listen to any of the tracks on the record WARNING and the energy and emotion that was poured into the making of it, will command your attention, not only with masterful song arrangements but clever lyrics that speak clearly to the soul. After hearing WARNING you WILL want to own a piece of Field of Grey and catch up to the band on tour. The band is most notably known for its live shows that are a reminiscent of stadium rock acts of the past, oozing with raw energy.
