Man Ray

The Seattle music group Guy Ray were hardly ever given the chance to embrace the mainstream success their peers feasted on. By enough time Guy Ray released their debut record, Casual Considering, music fans acquired currently overdosed on grunge. Praised by critics and supporters because of their fiery live shows, Guy Ray combined noisy, snarling guitars using the throbbing basslines and despondent lyrics of goth rock and roll. Josh Light (vocals, electric guitar, Moog, keyboards) flirted with goth in Guy Ray’s prior incarnation, Marble, launching a self-titled Compact disc in 1995. Marble was practically ignored with the Seattle press, however when Light, Tag Plampin (electric guitar), Jon Witney (bass), and Duf Drew (drums) toughened Marble’s gloomy audio as Guy Ray in the city’s night clubs in 1996, authors began labeling them as ANOTHER Big Thing. It hardly ever happened. Guy Ray were agreed upon to Mercury Information, and even though their first recording Informal Thinking received progress buzz, the label provided it little advertising when it had been released in 1997. Radio airplay was scarce. While dark, furious rock and roll was substitute radio’s most well-known flavor in the first ’90s, by 1997 Guy Ray’s ominous lyrics (“Trigger when you withstand it creates me/rip out my insides for you personally”) and brooding guitars dropped on deaf ears. Even though some of the additional tracks on Informal Thinking also shown a flavor for acoustic guitar pop, the recording was a industrial failure, as well as the music group was lowered from Mercury. In 1998, Guy Ray continued hiatus. White colored briefly joined people of Seattle’s Super Deluxe in Medicate, eschewing his goth and fresh wave affects for rock. Medicate had regular gigs in Seattle, but under no circumstances produced an recording. Guy Ray split up in 1999, and White colored released a single recording in 2000.
