Absolute Grey were an alternative rock–jangle pop band formed in September 1983 in Rochester, New York, United States.[1] The group's original lineup comprised drummer Pat Thomas (who later founded Heyday Records), guitarist Matt Kitchen, vocalist Beth Brown and bassist Mitchell Rasor.[2]
The band's debut release was a six-song cassette, followed by the Green House mini-LP in December 1984.[1][2] They then signed to Midnight Records, and two years after their debut released What Remains, produced by Tim Lee of The Windbreakers.[2][3] Thomas left in 1987, later releasing a series of solo albums, and Kitchen also left, leaving Brown and Rasor to continue, with the acoustic Painted Post EP released in mid-1987.[2][4] A live album recorded in 1984 followed, released on the Greek Di-Di label, before the original line-up came back together to record their final album, Sand Down the Moon.[2]
After disbanding in 1990, an expanded reissue of A Journey Through the Past was released in 2001.[5] In 2003 a remixed edition of Green House: 20th Anniversary Edition with a bonus disc of live recordings was released.[1] The band reunited, and announced plans for a new album in 2004, although nothing was released.[1]
