The band also featured guitarist Jason Barnes and Bassist Mace Beyers. Originally under the moniker "Sean Dowdell and His Friends?" the band released a 3-track cassette, before changing their name to "Grey Daze." Jason left the band a while later, and Bobby Benish stepped into his place as lead guitarist.
The band released two albums during their 7 years as a band; 1994's "Wake Me" and 1997's ."..no sun today"
In 1998, the band parted ways due to differences in musical pursuits. In 1999 Chester went on to join "Hybrid Theory", the foundations of Linkin Park; Sean continued his career as a tattoo artist, and in early '99 formed the band Waterface, who are now defunct. Bobby continued to play guitar, and Mace continued to play in various bands, recording on numerous albums.
In the past, it has been said that Waterface was a continuation of Grey Daze, however, this is not the case. Waterface is a band that Sean Dowdell joined after Grey Daze had disbanded, and is the only member of Grey Daze who participated in the band.
In February 2017, Chester and his bandmates began re-recording their music for a planned re-release of the band's early music and by June, he announced that Grey Daze was reuniting and would be playing a 20th-anniversary reunion show that fall. He was so enthusiastic about doing this, and he was eager to play rock music with messages that he knew would be meaningful to fans. It also meant a lot to him to be working with his Grey Daze bandmates, Sean Dowdell (with whom he had a very special friendship, and was a business partner in Club Tattoo), along with Mace Beyers, and Cristin Davis. He'd known them more than half of his life.
When Chester passed away, Grey Daze's reunion seemed like an afterthought to everyone involved; they were suffering, I was suffering, and there were way too many emotions to work through before we could even think about what would happen to that project. Once the clouds lifted a bit, once we could focus on what Chester would want us to do, we looked for a way to continue what Chester was working on—the things he was proud of and wanted to share with his fans. The Grey Daze project is one of the ways we can continue to tell Chester's story and connect with his fans.
