I was looking at our blog and I decided that we are terrible with updates. I love what Nick did with that give-away banner but I’m sick of looking at it. So I’m going to fill in our reader(s?) with the progress Nick and I have made in our few months together here in Portland!

Nick and I have had many practice/beer drinking sessions at his place toying with new musical ideas and discussing the direction we are heading. There are a number of fun little bits and pieces we have been tossing back and forth and we are feeling good about how our sound is developing. We couldn’t be more happy with how our recent change in location seems to be giving us killer inspiration. Look out cause these are going to be SO fun.

In addition to writing new material we’ve also been scoping out possible venues in P-Town. We have made some quick lists of some places to check out before we send out some music and info to try and land some gigs. We hope to have our first show in Portland very very very very very soon. (sooner than that sounds)

One last thing to hint at. Nick and I have been working on recording a fun cover to post on our site for your sweet little ears. Stay tuned in the next week or so to hear one of our favorite songs done AYIG Style!

love,

Ask You In Gray has been asked to play for a fundraiser for the Tympanic Theatre! This show should be fun! We’ll be playing with Earth Program and Rabbit Children! [Check out their myspace pages!]

The show is only $6 and is going to be oh so fun. We’ve got new gear and new songs, so make sure you come ready to move, exercise, dance, sway, clap, sing, possibly line-dance…! (you never know)

So the Elbo Room in Chicago has this thing called the Rockstar Mafia where local Chicago bands enter a song and a everyone votes whether or not it should be on the Rockstar Mafia compilation CD… Well, that was last night, SUNDAY, and tonight, MONDAY. We went last night and ended up getting chosen for the CD!!! Sweet! Read the rest of this entry »

So we’ve got a show coming up that we are sure is going to be totally fun! If you’re the type of person who needs some drinks to get you dancing… THIS IS YOUR NIGHT!!! Its only a $0.99 cents cover at the door and $1 PBRs all night long!!! Read the rest of this entry »

We played a show last night at the Elbo Room in Chicago and we were completely unprepared for such an awesome show! Ok, granted, it was a MONDAY night… and its colder than freakin’ ice block here in the windy city…

The venue itself was absolutely disorientating… but carried our music with a beefy sound system and a sweeeeet vibe. It was fun. The bands playing “with” us were the following: Julia Lucafo, an acoustic artist who had some major pipes, Flatlander, a psuedo-European style rock group with a sweet sound, and Sanguine Means, a three-piece post-hardcore band with harmonies that could make a baby smile… then cry, happily, to sleep.

Now, I know, you might ask… what the heck is an ELECTRONIC-INDIE band playing with a POST-HARDCORE band for? And there is no answer for you… only that it was totally fun… and somehow fit together quite nicely. Odd, I know…
Overall, the show was totally sweet and if you WERE one of the people who came out to support local music and dance with some glow sticks and drink some drinks… God bless you, child, because it was a flippin’ blast. If you WEREN’T there, and you did NONE of the previously listed, then make sure you come to our NEXT show… cause it will be twice as cool and three times as much fun… I’m sure of it.
