Sometimes, like now when I am sitting in a dark bar on Orchard, nursing a half price beer, looking out onto the street as 20somethings pass in skinny jeans and knee high boots, I imagine my life to be a movie. A perfectly grungy, horribly tragic, absurdly happy New York movie. A movie where I fall perilously in love, totter around in too high heels and fall drunkenly down the stairs at any, all Lower East Side venues.
The entire film would of course be soundtracked by a friend’s struggling band- the band I go see at 3am on a Tuesday, the band I poster lamp posts for. Right now, that band is
Man in Gray. With a big haired, big hearted guitar player and a sexy cupcake making lead singer, Man in Gray scream through my life as the camera pans to me running down Rivington, pulling a lover into a dark doorway and crying out into the night.
Find your own soundtrack, or steal mine- go on, I don't mind.

Man in Gray released their debut album, I Can't Sleep Unless I Hear You Breathing this past Tuesday. This album has been burning a hole in our cd players for the past two weeks, but you don't have to take our word for it. There's now a glowing review in L Magazine.
The band will be opening for Pela at tomorrow's gig at Mercury Lounge (which is now sold out). To learn more about Man In Gray, check out their official site here.
