Biography
The Frankfurt/Germany based five-piece COLOURFUL GREY was founded in 2001 and split up in May 2007.
COLOURFUL GREY have been well known for their energetic live shows even beyond the German borders. After selling out two EPs, they released their debut album "It’s so o.k." via Triple Eggs Records in 2003, followed up by several tours in Germany and another one, which lead them to the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, where the staff of Lockjaw Records visited one of their shows and signed them right away. With the support of this experienced label they have released their second album worldwide in October 2005. They played with numerous national and international Bands, from Tribute to Nothing, over Brandtson to Boy Sets Fire. But instead of a third Album they self-released an EP called "The very last CD" in 2007. The sold out record release show in Frankfurt was also their last show as a Band. Members went on to play in The Water Safety and Sometimes Go.

The sound of COLOURFUL GREY can be classified as melancholic and up-tempo indie punk rock, whereas influences from the Post-Punk/Wave era can be heard as well as from the American College-/Emo wave of the 90s. Philipp Lemhöfer’s conspicuous voice underlines the music with poetic and humorous lyrics about love, desperation and overcoming.
