Started in the late 80's in New Haven, CT. They released two "Demo" tapes. The first in 1989 which was self titled and the second in 1992 titled "The Shark Long Player" the second had a re-recording of the song "Focusing on one specific goal and achieving it" from the first demo. The 1989 demo had a great cover of "See Emily Play" by Pink Floyd and is still to this day one of the best releases Connecticut has ever seen.
These are photos from concerts where The Gravel Pit played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
