About Me

Members of Mr. Egg Form New Project Called Gravity Plan.
Gravity Plan has evolved from singer/ songwriter/guitarist Ken Adams former band and alter ego Mr. Egg along with Mr. Egg guitarist/singer Rick Ford, and longtime friends and collaborators bassist Bobcat Loeper, and drummer Bobby Michener.
Adams has finely honed his unique songwriting style cutting his teeth with several bands including the Texas cum San Francisco 90's band, Zen Babies, and a successful scoring career in the 90's. Ford, Loeper, and Michener complete the juxtaposition of style and influence with almost fanatical post-punk and psychedelic stylings based on influences by groups such as Television, Guided by Voices, Sparklehorse, and Built to Spill. From tunes about the impossible mission of a single sperm gaining entrance to an egg entitled Alkaline, or the glam meets punk of "30 Days", to the twangy alt. country influenced Ways of the Right, they strive to deliver both edge and hook of alternative pop but with deeper progressive layers.
Gravity Plan has recorded a number of versions they call "One-Take Wonders" that were recorded live in one take (at least most of them) in Micheners Forest Knolls, California loft. They are currently preparing these recordings for an EP release, and tracking the basics for an upcoming studio album.
Based in the bucolic hills of West Marin, they perform in the San Francisco Bay Area.
