DRUGS...IM NOT TELLING
EARTHLING SOCIETY WAS FORMED IN JAN 2004 IN FLEETWOOD/CLEVELEYS
LANCASHIRE.
INSPIRED BY CAN/FUNKADELIC/ASH RA TEMPEL/13TH FLOOR ELEVATORS/AMON DUUL2 AND SYD BARRETT, E-SOCIETY SET OUT BUILDING A SMALL RECORDING STUDIO WITH THE INTENTION OF RECORDING LO-FI KRAUT-ANGST ACID EPICS.
LYRICALLY INSPIRED BY WILLIAM BLAKE, PHILIP K. DICK, GUSTAV MEYRINK AND ARTHUR MACHEN, E-S RECORDED THEIR 7 TRACK DEBUT 'ALBION' JUST FOR THE SOLE SATISFACTION THAT WE HAD THE ABILITY TO DO SO.
IGNORING ANY COMMERCIAL INTENTION AND WITH AN ALMOST AUTOMATIC/UNCONCIOUS SONGWRITING STYLE WE RECORDED AN ALBUM OF LAID BACK PSYCHEDELIA THAT CAUGHT THE ATTENTION OF BERLINS NASONI RECORDS, WHO IN AUGUST OF 2005 RELEASED THE ALBUM TO MUCH CRITICAL ACCLAIM. MOST NOTABLY JULIAN COPE'S AUGUST ALBUM OF THE MONTH ON HEAD HERITAGE.
SINCE THEN WE HAVE RECEIVE GLOWING PRAISE IN BIZARRE MAGAZINE,ECLIPSED MAGAZINE (GERMANY'S EQUIVALENT OF MOJO) AND NUMEROUS WEB MAGS THAT SPECIALISE IN PSYCHEDELIA.
though some time in the future, just wondered if u would be interested if we had the sex pistols experience on at west coast rock cafe or BEAT nightclub. would prob be looking at about a £5 entry, poss less for early purchase. Beat is the more likely venue. something like an 8pm start....with late finish. local support bands too. the alternative is to try for mon dec 29th, but new yr would be cool. something different perhaps ?
here's what Neil Young played in Dublin last week by the way
Love And Only Love / I've Been Waiting For You / Mr. Soul / Spirit Road / Powderfinger / Hey Hey, My My / Too Far Gone / Oh, Lonesome Me / Mother Earth / The Needle And The Damage Done / Unknown Legend / Old Man / Get Back To The Country / Words / No Hidden Path // A Day In The Life...
