The Shady Greys

The Shady Greys are an Amsterdam based dirty blues-garage duo with a lo-fi approach, using only a cajon and feet played percussions (no drums). They’re all about rough guitar riffs, raw vocals and high energy.
Since their debut in 2012, they’ve played live shows all over the country and some abroad - anything from the empty bar to the 650 people sold out venue. They have also played live on Red Light Radio with the Converse sessions (support for Mac Demarco). In 2014, they were selected for the largest touring festival in the Netherlands - the Popronde - where they played 15 shows.
Notable clubs they play(ed) are Paradiso, Patronaat, Vera, Asteriks, DB’s and Bitterzoet with support gigs for bands like DeWolff, Girl Band, Reverend Deadeye, James Leg, and more.

Their latest EP “Follow” was released in September 2015.
