Sorry about the lack of news lately, but we’ve been busy ….. honest!

Here’s a quick update: Since Dave West joined us the band has gone through a bit of a transformation – there’s a new sense of energy and fun in the band, which is obviously being reflected in our recent performances. We’ve had great compliments from friends, fellow musicians and new supporters, which is very encouraging. So thanks to one and all!

We’ve also been working on new material, and the big news here is that we’ve introduced the two Daves (West and Groom) as lead vocalists, adding a new dimension to the band ….. and there’ll be more from these two in the coming months.

But the main news has gotta be that we’ve finally got round to producing a demo! Special thanks to Keith Bayley at Red Guitar Studios and Dave Wooster at Koolworld Studios who lent their professional experience to this project. So we’ve put down four tracks and you can listen to a short mix of these on the ‘Demo’ page. If you would like a copy of the full demo, just let us know.

As well as the new line up, everyone loves the new name ….. thank God! It was a difficult decision to make but we’re glad we did it, and more and more people are getting to know us as Gravity, not Maple Madness.

Anyway, armed with the new demo, we aim to be spreading our wings to new venues in the Beds, Bucks and Herts area, so keep an eye on the gigs page and hopefully we’ll be playing in venue near you very soon! In the meantime, we really appreciate all those loyal fans that travel to see us …. it’s always great to see you!

Take care.

Hi all,

As you have probably noticed by now there have been a few changes. The first is the change of name for the band from Maple Madness to Gravity. And why we hear you ask…… Well, Lead vocalist and founder-member. Gordon Blackwell explains: “While we have established an excellent reputation with Maple Madness, people often think we are a Madness tribute band, which does occasionally give us a problem. We’ve been thinking about changing the name for a while, and we thought the arrival of Dave West was the ideal time. Initial reaction to the new name has been very positive, so we hope people will soon get to know who we are.”

Which brings us nicely onto the announcement of new bassist and vocalist Dave West. Dave is a well-accomplished player that has been around the musical block a few times, which would explain the grey hair and wrinkles!! But to find out more about Dave click here….

And finally, unless this is the first time you have visited our site you will I am sure notice that along with the new name comes a new site.
