Maids Of Gravity Formed In The Early '90s By Ed Ruscha Vocals Guitar After He Left Medicine. Named After A Group Ruscha Saw In A Dream The L.A.-Based Maids Of Gravity Recorded Their First Full-Length In 1994 For Vernon Yard Records. Also Featuring Guitarist Jim Putnam Also Formerly Of Medicine And Drummer Irwin Maids Of Gravity's Neo-Psychedelic Sound Countered The Grunge Trend Of The Early '90s But "Only Dreaming" Was The Only Song That Was Able To Penetrate The Heap Of Nirvana And Pearl Jam Clones. Nevertheless It Was Enough To Get Maids Of Gravity Invited To Radio-Station Festivals And Opening Slots For Bush And Matthew Sweet. In 1996 The Band Hired Velvet Underground Legend John Cale To Produce Their Next Album The First Second. On The First Second Maids Of Gravity Ventured Further Into Acid Rock Weaving Otherworldly Lyrics With Drugged-Out Guitar Jams. Eugene Gorester Guitar And Mark Kay Bass Were Added To The Group. Maids Of Gravity Released Strange Channel In 2000. ~ Michael Sutton All Music Guide read less
