gravitate

Forming in 2001, gravitate were originally a three-piece rock outfit with the intention of setting the rock’n’roll scene into a state of disrepair. Simon, Paul and Dan all attended high school together, but it wasn’t until well after the final bell had rung before they all picked up their respective instruments and began jamming. Originating from the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, gravitate has spent considerable time building a solid set of powerful rock tunes, and the occasional tranquil ballad. Their first two years have seen gravitate play venues such as Switch, Revolver, the Armadale, Mt Hotham (2003 Rip Curl Pro Snowboarding), and various other venues throughout metropolitan Melbourne, supporting bands to the likes of The Androids, Blake (NZ), PaperStreet and Jettison to name a few.
Despite their early success, the decision was made in early 2004 to fatten the gravitate sound, with the inclusion of a new lead guitarist, Jarrod. Considerable time was spent focusing on the bands new and improved sound, and writing a new song or two in the process. Now, towards the end of 2004, gravitate have emerged as a new and exciting four-piece rock group, exploding onto the Melbourne music scene with a solid compilation of songs, and energetic live performances.
