The End Men + the Shady Greys

Thursday, June 4, first concert 20:30, €4

Get ready for some dirty blues at DE RUIMTE, with concerts by NYC-based blues duo The End Men and the Shady Greys!

The average listener would be surprised to find that the powerful sound The End Men project is only coming from two people. With the raw, rasp-soaked vocals and the guitar-split to give the illusion of a bass, along with the rock solid drum pocket peppered with found percussive elements, the band rides a wave of dirty blues rock and vaudevillian stomp.

In a few short years, The End Men have carved out a name for themselves in their home base of NYC, and drop jaws and turn heads with every show they perform. The live experience …harkens back to a smokey sideshow tucked away on the bayou; captivating and eccentric in its intensity.

In 2011 they released their first album, ‘Build It Up’. In 2013 they released their follow up ‘Play With Your Toys’, and ‘Odds & Ends’ a year after that. Their newest offering, the full-length “Terms and Conditions” was released worldwide on April 21st 2015.

the Shady Greys are a lo-fi, dirty blues duo based in Amsterdam. Marcus’ loud, rough guitar riffs and raw vocals combined with Catherine’s hypnotic and primal rhythm work never fail to drop the jaws of their audience. Using only a wooden box, a guitar and their voices, they often improvise and use no set list to give each show its own vibe. The live experience is full of energetic presence throughout the whole set.
