Advance Listening Party Recap

The Time is Gravity advanced listening party took place last night (10/24/08) on a rooftop in the East Village. There was drinking there was snacking, and there was holding hands over candlelight...almost. In attendance was Adam Chimera who helped record, mix, and engineer the record. Also in attendance was Trevor Wencl from the Bay Area art pop band HIJK - in town for the annual NYC music fest CMJ. East Village music scene veteran and former Ninth Street Mission lead guitarist Quinn Raymond (who himself is about to release a new solo album) was there with members of his new band NAQ (NAQ is: Namrata Tripathi Raymond and Akhill Chopra). Historical note: Raymond also once served in The Speed Nuts a 90s punk band featuring current Ghost Ghost bassist Kevin Peckham, Seattle-based poet and former Hijack the Disco drummer Mike DeBlois and current HIJK bassist Mike Mahony.

As far as historians of the future can piece together from fragments of blurry photos and archival documents, the album was well received. The crowd favorite from last night's party seemed to be the title track "Time is Gravity" a song about a girl, archery, and physics. If you want to hear a preview of that song, check out Kevin Peckham's very different solo demo available at www.kevinpeckham.com.

Time is Gravity the debut e.p. from Ghost Ghost is due out in November 2008. Ghost Ghost is: Tim Ireland, Kevin Peckham and Karl Ward. They are coming for you. Just watch yourself.
