GREG PRIOR

ABOUT GREG

Over the next few years the cover band Greg was in called the Rift started writing their own songs, and then recording originals and gigging out. This nightclub cover original band went on until he reached 20 years old.

Later Greg moved to New Haven and attended Southern Connecticut State University. It was here that he met Stevo and Joe, and created a band called Bleached Black. The band recorded at Sinatra Studios with Ron Sutfin the old school way, recording on an 8-track reel to reel. They made a single called “Chelsea” that received college radio air play. It was this recording that got the attention of Relativity Records.

The band was offered a recording contract after making their own EP: Wrist Slashing Romance. In 1986 the self titled album Bleached Black, with the color cover, came out. The album did well and sold 60,000 copies followed by a tour in the U.S. and Canada using their van. It was classical fun.

Their hometown of New Haven, CT celebrated their post-tour return with a gig at the then famous club called the Grotto where they played to a packed house. Unfortunately, the band had personal problems with Relativity Records and were denied a second record even though it had already been recorded in Boston.
