Exclusive Videos: Grey Area (New York)

Posted by chris on Thursday, August 31, 2006 at 10:44 PM (EDT)

Grey Area have announced plans to reunite for a special show to say farewell to CBGB's, who will be leaving New York City this Halloween. The New York City hardcore band will be joined by None More Black.

The show will take place on September 24th, 2006 at CBGB's.

It only seemed fitting to put up this little gem I filmed last year at the Save CBGB's show where the band opened for Orgcore legends Kid Dynamite.

StormOf59 (August 31, 2006)

Wow, I really hope I can go.

newest? orgcore has been licking jason's nuts since kid dynamite

Scruffy (August 31, 2006)

But NMB hasn't done anything quite worthy of the hype until Loud About Loathing, and the phenomenal, album-of-2006, This Is Satire.

SalsaShark (August 31, 2006)

I love NMB (and that album) but the way you praise it is like it's Dear You pt 2.

BrendanKelly (August 31, 2006)

don't you mean The Greatest Story ever Told pt. 2?

FuckYouOiOiOi (September 1, 2006)

are you godfather?

Scruffy (September 1, 2006)

That would be a more apt comparison. Trust me, you haven't heard me praise Dear You if you think I've praised This Is Satire similarly.

FuckYouOiOiOi (September 1, 2006)

the last time i saw dillinger four paddy said: "you know how back in the 90s you could tell what kind of a person someone was by how into friends they were? thats the same thing with jawbreaker. if someone says 'dear you is their best album and a landmark' then you know they're kind of a downer and a douchebag."

fucking profound.

Scruffy (September 1, 2006)

Yeah, well, Paddy's kind of a douchebag, too, and I say that with all kindness.
We're all kinda douchebags.
He'd probably call me a douchebag for thinking Clarity is right up there with it.
Also, you think the Casualties are awesome and worship NoFX. You lost the right to determine what is profound and what isn't.

NoControl (August 31, 2006)

nope, id say the up and comers are O! Pioneers!

el_matt (August 31, 2006)

*O Pioneers!!!

FuckYouOiOiOi (September 1, 2006)

the Oi! Pioneers?

drunkenriot (September 1, 2006)

Environmental Youth Crunch should be the new up and comers...

Someone (August 31, 2006)

I really hope I can make this. two great bands. Grey Area- Fanbelt Algebra is one of my fav albums of all time.

sickboi (chris) (August 31, 2006)

I'd like to add that this thing was filmed standing on this little 1 1/2 foot thing sticking outta the wall....the risks I take to bring you kids the rock music.

In all honesty, I like the way this came out, you opinions are welcomed.

On a side note, the special guest singer is homeboy from the band Take My Chances. (I think)

sept 3, be in dc!

sickboi (chris) (August 31, 2006)

I'm going to VA Beach for that shizzle tomorrow...

"On a side note, the special guest singer is homeboy from the band Take My Chances. (I think)"

he was also in Heads Vs Breakers

Someone (August 31, 2006)

I love how this band was so bad that they can't sell any records or get people out to shows but they are loved now just because they opened for Kid Dynamite. This site is sickening sometimes.

NoControl (August 31, 2006)

i know, ive never heard of this band.

Someone (August 31, 2006)

You're lucky. They sucked bad.

Dante3000 (rich) (August 31, 2006)

Uhm...I don't think they sold a lot of records or had people at their shows because they broke up. It's hard to play shows when you're band isn't active. They "reunited" for the Kid Dynamite show and they're "Reuniting" again for this show.

P-Fresh (September 1, 2006)

Please, keep talking out of your ass.

KirbyPuckett (September 1, 2006)

You're a moron.

A complete moron.

jamespastepunk (September 4, 2006)

I love how people try to make themselves sound smarter by bringing up some psudeo-moral outrage about a band getting exposure.

Go to hell.

FuckYouOiOiOi (August 31, 2006)

more like gay area.

Big_Guy (September 1, 2006)

I love Ernie's vocals a lot. Take My Chances is such a good song

Someone (September 1, 2006)

what a great band and a real class act. great group of guys, can't wait for this.

OzmanX (September 1, 2006)

More like Great Area

AlmostPunkEnough (September 1, 2006)

such an awesome band.

gotta go to this show.

Someone (September 1, 2006)

Grey Area should have been one of the most popular bands of their time. Great live show....great guys....amazing records. They did it all the right way. It's only fitting that they play a send-off for CBGB's.

randomhero323 (September 1, 2006)

gotta go

Jacktheskipper (September 1, 2006)

I beg you, PLEASE MAKE THIS DOWNLOADABLE ... I`d love to watch this on my TV ...

Skanknsmile (September 1, 2006)

HAHA! yes mother fucker i will FINALLY be on the east coast to see some fucking nmb in their prime setting. anyone who wants to meet up, ill tell you what jon stewart is like, since ill be interning there and all. and if your in new york now, whats up?

Someone (September 1, 2006)

Kursk (September 1, 2006)

weren't Grey Area on Victory Records back in the nineties? I've heard nothing from them since then so I assumed they were dead. The full length they put out for Victory (if I'm thinking the same band) was pretty good, I found it used a few years back.

None More Black is the shit, wonderful band, there were a couple of songs off This Is Satire that I didn't really care for that I felt broke the flow of the album like I See London and Majestic, but otherwise an awesome record, And both of their albums before it were almost flawless.

Someone (September 2, 2006)

kickin' ass
none more black alone would be worth seeing. i don't really know anything about grey area but ernie is a cool guy. he played bass for kid dynamite for awhile
