VON GREY is an American indie rock band from Atlanta, GA. Formed in 2011 by sisters Annika, Fiona, and Kathryn von Grey. The group's youngest member, Petra, stepped away from the band in October 2016 to focus on her schooling.

VON GREY's music has been described as having an ambient/electro sound marked by moody synths, heady beats, and inventive usage of acoustic/classical instrumentation.

Album History

VON GREY'S self-titled debut EP, recorded with Grammy-winning producer/engineer Nick DiDia (Bruce Springsteen, Train, The Gaslight Anthem), was released on October 2, 2012. In 2012, VON GREY played a sold-out west coast tour with Lindsey Stirling, followed by an additional tour with Company of Thieves.

VON GREY made their network television debut in February 2013 on "The Late Show with David Letterman,"[1] followed by an appearance on "Rock Center with Brian Williams" in March 2013[2] and "Conan" on April 2, 2013.[3] The band also performed at the 2013 Bonnaroo.

On January 21, 2014 VON GREY released their second EP, Awakening. The release was supported by nationwide tours with Ron Pope, Parachute, and the Indigo Girls, as well as a performance at Austin City Limits Music Festival.

The band's third studio EP, Panophobia, was released on August 14, 2015,[4] and showcased evolution to a genre NYLON Magazine called, "haunting, moody indie rock."[5]

On April 28, 2017, the band released a single,"Poison In The Water", following a brief hiatus. In a May 2017 interview at Paste Studios in New York Annika von Grey called the break, "development which was really healthy for us creatively and emotionally."[6]
