Gravity + went at it again. Bigger, bolder and better than ever before, the band got out and rocked a PACKED Magdalena's Tea House. Playing a wide selection of old and new favorites, as well as some previously unheard material, the band demonstrated a new depth and range which was stunning to behold.

The old and young came out in droves and, as evidenced by the 5-year-old gentleman seen above, were well pleased by what they heard and saw.

With the completion of the album only moments before actual release (and, if the truth be told, during the actual release), the band mounted the stage.  Months of hard work in rehearsal, word-of-mouth grassroots advertising and publicity work, and just plain-old sleepless nights in the studio all came together with fewer hitches than one would expect.

The performance itself went off better than perfectly. The crowd (which contained a larger than expected number of folks who had never even heard of the band before) was large and enthusiastic. The tea flowed like a river.

And they saw that it was good.
