The Gates of Ivory are the portals through which false dreams emanate, deceiving men and bringing unfulfilled promises and fallacious words of hope.
We're just two dudes who play music with another dude who screams. We take pride in trying to deviate from the norm of "heavy music," putting pain-staking thought into each song (as to whether good thought or bad, you be the judge), actually tuning UP to F-sharp rather than down to mud, and having songs (our shortest being about 7 minutes, the longest about 10) which have meaning that is dear to our hearts rather than just sounding "kewl." We don't care what area code you're from, or what new piercings you got, or how tight your pants are: We just care about music.
We're too busy and broke to record anything decent (as you can tell), but we are NOT too busy to play shows! We are a live band whose music is meant to be experienced anyway, and we've been told no recording could encapsulate the energy and emotion of our live set. So book us! Come see us! We plan on recording a full pro-quality cd worthy of your ears this coming summer. Hang tight, and in the meantime, come hang out!
We will basically play any show in and around the CT area. If you'd like to book us, please message us on this page (preferred) or e-mail our guitarist, Joe, at [email protected]
We greatly appreciate any and all support.
Thanks,
The Gates of Ivory
