THE ART GRAY NOIZZ QUINTET is spearheaded by twisted Australian guitar legend STU-ART GRAY, most notoriously known as STU SPASM of LUBRICATED GOAT, CRUNT, and THE BEASTS OF BOURBON. The man’s wayward path through the flashpoints of New York noise, Seattle grunge, and Australian swamp-rock history is well-represented in the Quintet’s sound – chaos with a cinematic edge. This outfit also stars some of the finest hand-picked hellions of New York City’s underground scene – SKELETON BOY of WOMAN on the two-string bass, sax-stress extraordinaire NIKKI D’AGOSTINO, and RICH HUTCHINS of LIVE SKULL on the drums providing the savage, swinging beat. A rotating roulette of characters swagger into the second guitar slot, each showcasing their particular specialty – twang, treble, or atmosphere. Sharing stages with kindred spirits such as THE SCIENTISTS, UNSANE, KID CONGO POWERS, and MUDHONEY got the attention of audiences early on. Catching the eye of legendary no-wave queen LYDIA LUNCH led to joining forces onstage for ongoing musical misadventures, and a collaboration between the two as their latest release – a two fisted 10″ single out now on IN THE RED RECORDS . . . The next chapter in an already solidly sordid musical history.
