Earthling Society

Earthling Society

The Earthling Society is a 21st Century progressive, psychedelic, experimental band.

The Earthling Society formed in early 2004 when singer songwriter / guitarist Fred Laird and David Fyall met up with drummer Jon Blacow. Dissillusioned with the current music trends and sharing a love of 70's progressive rock, krautrock and 60's psychedelia, Earthling Society built a primitive 8 track recording studio in a corner of a disused glass factory. Ignoring any commercial intention they started recording what became their debut album "Albion" purely as they had the ability to do so.

"Albion" was initially released on Mylodon records based in Santiago, Chile in March 2005, a move that Fred Laird described as a disaster. The release however started to receive glowing praise and critical acclaim amongst the press. In June 2005 "Albion" was picked up by Hans Georg Bier, head of Berlin based psychedelic label Nasoni records who promptly re released it on CD and vinyl formats. By August 2005 it became album of the month on former Teardrop Explodes frontman Julian Cope's website Head Heritage.

Earthling Society began work on the follow up entitled " Plastic Jesus and the third eye blind" which was released after supporting Julian Cope on his 2006 "Dark Orgasm" tour early that summer. The band in the meantime had become firm favouties on the European and UK festival circuits and for their appearance in Berlin at the tenth anniversary of Nasoni records, Irish keyboardist Kevy Canavan joined the group on a permanent basis.

The winter of 2006 saw Earthling Society writing and recording their third studio LP, a 70 minute double LP entitled "Tears of Andromeda, black sails against the sky". Again released through Nasoni it was eventually released on April 20th 2007 to co incide with their debut appearance at the "Roadburn " festival alongside acts such as Blue Cheer, The Melvins, Sundial and Guru Guru. A gig broadcast simultaneously live on several European radio stations.

After a couple of appearances in the UK and the internet becoming littered with live and studio reviews Earthling Society have been in negotiations with UK based record distribution company Cargo records who officially release the band's entire back catalogue in the UK for the first time in September 2007. As it stands now they are currently writing their fourth LP, a working title given by the band as " Welcome to the new Dark Age ". A live track from their " Roadburn " festival will appear on a compilation album later this year, as well as a DVD release of highlights of their summer appearance at " Eastern Haze " festival earlier this summer. There is also a possibility of the fourth LP being released in the UK by London based label " Four Zero " records.Also David Fyall is a proper knob.
