Greyscale

Greyscale is an instrumental power-trio whose distinct and immediately recognizable sound is based on the interaction between soaring pedal steel and droning de-tuned guitar. These elements are held together by a shared love of melody and the ability to dynamically improvise complex arrangements. Greyscale's experimentation with resonant feedback to create "sonic textures" may invite comparisons with legendary instrumental acts such as The Dirty Three, guitar bands Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine, and the current out-rock or post-rock genre dominated by bands such as Mogwai, Tortoise or GSYBE.

Greyscale are Paul Rigby (pedal steel, guitar, 12 string electric guitar, Watkins Copycat, banjo), a member of revered Melbourne outfit The Rectifiers, who takes pedal steel beyond the alt-country genre into the realm of pure sound; Cass Wigley (electric guitar, synths, keys, bass, programming), DJ and live electronic artist who brings the looping cut'n'paste production techniques of electronic music to the raw and essentially live sound of the band; Paul Sloan (drums, radio transmissions), a painter of growing renown, who provides the driving rock rhythms and is responsible for the beautiful artwork which graces the covers of Greyscale's CD releases, which include a 2001 self-titled EP "Scientifically Rough" and their debut full-lengther "Cruel Machine", released in Australia on Recursive Records and worldwide by Camera Obscura in 2005.
