BAEBLE CONCERTS: The Grey Race at The Bowery Ballroom

While only one member can boast born and raised status, it is certainly still fair to call this performance from Brooklyn Based quartet The Grey Race a high profile, hometown test…one the band passes with flying, melodic colors. Recorded at the World's Fair Showcase during the 2007 CMJ Festival, the band pulls on plenty from their recently released debut, Give It Love, throughout this performance. Showing why the album won crowds and critics alike, Jon Darling – his glorious falsetto smoothing over any edge at all – fronts a band who should claim expertise in the field of mid tempo torch songs and elegant, melodic rock.
