Despite having a name that sounds like it belongs to a member of the Cramps, Austin’s Celestine Gravely‘s brand of rock is more attuned to the likes of Patti Smith and PJ Harvey, balancing the sounds of those eras and the power of their vocals with her own stamp of songwriting. You’ve got it all here: raw vocals that go from lilt to loaded, powerful guitar riffs, and lots of fun tempo changes to keep you on your toes.
“Kill the Heather” pulls together all of Gravely’s inspirations, employing lots of starts and stops, mood changes, and the perfect touch of Riot Girrrl attitude.
Celestine Gravely plays tonight with her full trio at Valhalla with Flounce, Shared Walls, and Bad Acid.
