Drummer Shawn Mitchell reports that the Gray Davies are
looking to reconfigure. He and guitarist/vocalist Adam Wade are on the
prowl for a new bassist after the departure of founding member Brian
Charles. While they find the right fit, friend Brian Scanlon, who plays
in Deck Eleven, Craving and Wicked Automatic, will be filling in. At
the same time, the band, currently a three-piece, is looking to add a
second guitarist. Through next month Wade and Mitchell will be making
trips to the “wonderful” Thumbprint Studios in Epping to record a
follow up to their five-song EP, released earlier this year. And
there’s another Davies album in the mix, too—the band has a live
recording from a July 8 show at the Brickhouse available on request via
their Web site, www.thegraydavies.com.
Unbunny has plans to shoot a music video. The video for the
song, “Casserole,” which appears on their last LP “Snow Tires,” will be
shot by Charles Spano of the Los Angeles-based video production team
Common Deer. To date, Common Deer has produced videos for bands such as
Addison, The Fictions, The Strange and others, and has created
commercial work for McDonald’s, Diesel, Nike Gold, Vans and Ikea.
