About Me |
|
| PART ONE:Even though Carmen Gray signed a recording contract with Sony/BMG only a year ago and will release
their debut album later this year, the group itself has been around much longer than that. Three of its
members, Lappe, JJ and Pete, have played together for a decade. To make a long story short, before the
group became Carmen Gray, they were called Jerkem To be honest, they could never really decide upon
what they wanted to be called. They only knew that they wanted a name that would not only reflect their
sound but also do justice to their genius as musicians. And finally, in May 2005, they came up with
Carmen Gray, which they all felt captured the spirit of the group perfectly.Although its next to impossible to pinpoint when things really started taking off for Carmen Gray,
its fair to say that the year 2000 proved to be a watershed for the group. Up until then, the idea had
been just to have fun with music and hang out together. However, with the inclusion of Nicklas Nyman as
the lead vocalist, they were now finally ready to embark on a joint voyage towards becoming a professional
act. It was also round about this time that Lappe joined forces with Tommi Tikka in the songwriting front.
Since then, this songwriting team has been solely responsible for the groups material.Many a musician visited the group over the years some stayed longer than others did - but in the end,
they all left because Carmen Gray was never about instant gratification. On the contrary, it was always
about hard work. For a long time, being in the group meant trying to figure out how to make the best
possible music with the worst possible equipment and investing everything that you had on your bank
account in what most people considered little more than pipe dreams.The most current change within the lineup took place in January 2003, when O.J. joined in on the drums.
Its fair to say that he was an instant fit, and it soon became apparent to everybody that with him behind
the drum kit, the group sounded tighter and better than ever. At last, the chemistry of the group was
completed. All of a sudden, there were no missing links.But of course, the success of any band is always dependent on the right people and the right connections.
In this case, the right person turned out to be Peter Kokljuschkin, a seasoned professional with a long
history in managing pop/rock groups in Finland. Peter discovered the band in November 2004. It wouldnt
be an overstatement to say that his contribution was a major factor in getting the group where it is today.Wild, Fresh, ExcitingNot enough can be said about Carmen Grays wild stage performances and their catchy rock melodies.
Of course, if youve been lucky enough to catch them live either in Helsinki or elsewhere in Finland,
you already know this. One things for sure, they continue to dazzle their audiences wherever they play.Through meticulous perfection of their craft, the Carmen Gray have, over the years, managed to create
their own distinctive brand of rocknroll that sounds fresh and exciting. Their influences range from
the Beatles to Skid Row. Yet, from the very beginning, their goal was always to create something new
rather than be tied to any traditions.But naturally, to most of you out there, the story of Carmen Gray is just beginning. So, stay tuned for
more adventures and help us complete the stories that will one day make up the second chapter in this
biography. Keep your spirit alive! Buy the new single At The End Of The Rainbow online now! Tune.fi Download NetAnttila iTunes HS musiikkilataamo Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Angel's Pain - Image Hosting /Copy this code to your website to display this banner! |
