About Us

Gravity is a rock and roll band that loves what it does. Covering  songs from the days of the second British Invasion up to recent obnoxious gems that get the crowds excited. Gravity gets their audience singin' and dancin' and drinkin' to the pulse of powerful driving guitars, a thunderous rhythm section and a variety of wonderful vocals lead by our dark mistress "Patrice". The members of Gravity are veterans of the New York, Jersey and Philadelphia club scenes and have been record label recording artists with other acts so they know what it takes to get the party started! Please fasten your seat belts and enjoy your flight on Gravity Airlines. Your stewardess will be bringing you your movie earphones, peanuts and cocktails shortly...
