news | TTG ...for holding us together
Thursday, January 5, 2012 at 9:30PM What a year 2011 was... one of the best years of my life.
But what happened New Years Day, 2012 was incomprehensibly wonderful...
Thanks to Gravity assembled to rehearse for our upcoming performance at the Portsmouth Music Hall on January 27th... and although it has been nearly 12 years since we last played together - in many ways it was like not a day had passed.
At first I was just totally impressed with how easy it was to get started... then I became filled with admiration for each of the guys individually.. and our entire 21 year history flashed before me in the space of the first song we played.. 'Phenomenon of Flight'. After sharing a few more funny stories and good memories we launched easily into 'Eating the Moon'.. and I was overcome with emotion.
It's hard to put into words how much I love these guys and how much I've missed them.
For now, all I can think about is practice tomorrow night.. and hearing the sound of my little girl's voice humming Eating The Moon.. : )

Although a late comer to TTG fanhood, I'm looking forward to the 27th with the same excitement I'd have for my own band,
Very sweet. I listened to the "Start" album yesterday for the first time in a while. I had forgotten how... soaring.. that record is. I was so excited that Thanks to Gravity had gotten a deal and were working with Rupert Hine. When the album came out and the rest of the world didn't see how brilliant you were it was very deflating for me, I can't imagine how hard it must have been for you. Thank you for persevering with the equally epic "Ode to Joy" album. Cannot WAIT to hear your performance on the 27th, and I have high hopes for new music! All the best, sir.
How marvelous that you've gotten back together! One of my favorite musical memories is of playing backup for you guys at the CD release concert so long ago <3
