The Grays were a short-lived rock band comprising singer/songwriters/multi-instrumentalists Jon Brion, Jason Falkner, Buddy Judge, and Dan McCarroll.

According to Jason Falkner, Jon Brion initially got into contact with him after listening to a mixtape of the album Odessey and Oracle by the Zombies he had compiled for his then-girlfriend.

[1] Brion called Falkner to invite him to an informal jamming session with musicians Buddy Judge and Dan McCarroll.

The meeting caught the attention of a music executive and led to a record label bidding war for a supposed band composed of the four musicians.

[6] Despite glowing reviews from critics, Ro Sham Bo was a commercial disappointment[6] and was the only album released by the band.
