Since their inception in 2001, Melbourne Australia’s Grey Daturas have been hailed as one of the loudest and most uncompromising bands in their homeland.
Over the course of their career, the trio, comprising of multi instrumentalists Robert Mayson, Bonnie Mercer and Robert MacManus, have been furiously melding low-end drones, free form rhythms, and sludgy riffs through complete improvisation. With a hardcore D.I.Y. work ethic, their years of self promoting, touring and releasing of records has gained them global respect and an ever increasing fan base.

Press Quotes:
“If the Melbourne sunshine puts a smile on most of its native's faces, this must be compensated for by the scowls of the Grey Daturas, an improvisational three piece intent on wiping all that is bright, clean and decent from the sun kissed land and drowning it in a muddy grave in the gape of the Pacific” - NICK SOUTHGATE, The Wire
“A perfect mix of churning metallic rock, New Zealand style free noise, freaked out psychedelic space rock and buzzing rumbling drone rock. So so good.” – Aquarius Records
“Sounds fucking great” - David Keenan, Volcanic Tongue
“Grey Daturas may very well be to Australia what Boris is to Japan or Sunn O))) is to the United States” - MIKE ASS-KICK HALEY, Heart Attack
“This trio can blast out riffs like Pelican and Dead Meadow for thee or four minutes before turning into noise giants that could make Throbbing Gristle blush” - MIKE ASS-KICK HALEY, Heart Attack
“Grey Daturas venture to parts unknown, places where typical tunings and time signature have no meanings and little relevance” – CHRIS BARNES, Hell ride Music
