Beta Napster has Gravity Tree prog rock

Anyone check out the new Beta version of Napster? For the most part, we like the new layout, especially the darker color scheme (for those who care ;-o). btw they actually pay artists for downloads now - it's completely legit these days.

Anyway, you can find most of our music there. We say 'most', because the new downloads like Building are exclusive to other sites, like our own webstore.


So if you like to get your music from Napster, be sure to check us out over there.

Okay, back to the studio to work on those new songs...

Sometimes you can't get back

Sometimes you just can't get back into the studio...


Besides trying to finish taxes (!), last week found me working out a few ideas for our upcoming video.


Gravity Tree is also working up some new T-Shirt designs which just might see the light of day this time around ;-)

All these tangents, of course, were necessary, if not always well-planned. Back in the studio we go once again. Hint: the next song's acronym is FTWHC...we'd like to hear from any of you on what that might stand for. Until next time...

More Guitar, please

A short entry this time, as things are quite busy at Studio192. Guitar tracking continues for the new songs, and Alan has been working up charts for more upcoming recordings.

There were also talks concerning a new video, work for which should be getting underway next month. More on this and the new songs in an upcoming newsletter...that's it for now.

Download Interference

In this week's update, we wanted to mention that we recently added our 8 minute+ song (epic?) "Interference" to the Gravity Tree  downloads now available at the Boost Independent Music shop. (The song Interference is originally from the album Ultimate Backward .)

We're a featured artist there as well. You can find us easily, by choosing "progressive" from the "browse by music style" menu on the site's main page.

In addition to the music-in-progress, Gravity Tree has been updating their pages at ReverbNation.com. We've been steadily climbing the charts over there, which is a little strange for us - even appearing on charts. We'll try not to get too popular ;-)

For those on spring break, we hope it's happy (and safe!)...and our fans on our mailing list can xpect the April newsletter soon.

Guitar solos and bridges

This week's summary finds Linc working on guitar solos and parts for one of the new songs, and Alan working out a bridge on another.

Gravity Tree are also posting more music from the first 2 CDs on some of the newer sites and music shops, so if you're missing something and want MP3s, be sure to check out the band's music at Boost in the next few weeks or so.

That's one of the places all the new music will be posted, and where you can already find the latest Gravity Tree song, "BUILDING".

More next week...

As our friends on Twitter (http://twitter.com/gravitytree) suspect, and fans who take our newsletter already know, Gravity Tree is in the midst of work on no less than 5 new songs. While we've made some good progress on one especially, we're withholding a release date for a little longer, as drummer/keyboardist Alan splits his time between band recording and a remix project (we'll talk about that in the future).

All the new material will ultimately be available on the next full length album. Many will be available beforehand as digital singles at shops like Boost Independent Music. One of the reasons we're at Boost music is because they offer such a good deal on MP3 downloads - as low as 69 cents US. Here's a link to our Boost page:

BTW, if you know of a good online shop you'd like to see our music in, drop us a
note here or comment on our MySpace page.

Thanks for listening.

Station IDs

Several weeks ago now Gravity Tree was asked to do a 'station ID', if you will, for a progressive rock website. So if you're listening to Power of Prog and you hear us talking at you, don't be too surprised.

We're back to work on new songs after unexpected delays that kept Alan out of the studio for about a month. Four new songs are in the works and barring any further delays, the first of them should make it to download sites in the next few weeks. Look out for it!
