Gravity Wagon

About Me

Gravity Wagon has never killed anyone. Ever. I mean really, the first thing I like to know when I choose bands to like is if they are murderers. It would suck if you were at a show, rockin' out, dancin', and all of a sudden the band converged upon you like ninjas and ended your life. Imagine sitting on the Blue Line, ipod blasting through those little ass earphones and WHAM, poison dart to the neck. Not on our watch buddy. We know it's popular these days for bands to participate in pogroms and such, but we tow the line for justice. Just take that as our personal guarantee to you. We value you life. We value your friends' lives. We will not cause fatal harm to anyone. Even people you don't know or like. And that's the kind of promise you can take to the bank. You could kind of think of us as modern day super heroes. Just not the kind that wear tights or anything stupid like that. Come to think of it, we all sort of gravitate more towards the earth-tones. Was there ever an earth-tone super hero? Super Man? No. Spider Man? No. Green Lantern? No. Even Captain Planet (who was a pretty shitty hero) was all like sky blue and red and stuff. You know what? Fuck Captain Planet. He was a hack. So in closing, Gravity Wagon will never kill you, will not wear tights and will have a subdued, yet classic fashion sense focusing on natural colors and fibers derived from sustainable resources utilizing eco-friendly growing techniques when available. In this crazy mixed up world we live in, I take a lot of comfort in that.
