One last push of this...C'mon chaps and chapesses...come and see
Earthling society and Spaceship will be playing two sets at Jenx Topping Street on March 6th
Earthling society's last album 'Sci-Fi Hi-Fi' was critically lauded in record collector, uncut, rock n reel etc and has featured in a host of 2009 best of rundowns. They will be airing two brand new songs and a kosmik version of Alice Cooper's 'Im 18'coming across as a detroit guitar amy with Klaus Schulze / Dieter Derks green smokin' dub
http://www.myspace.com/earthlingsociety
spaceship is a one man drone machine and Blackpool native Mark Williamson.
He will be playing extended drones on synth and guitar taken from his latest album which was released on Julian Cope's 'Fuck off and Di' label last year.
http://www.myspace.com/spaceshipmark.
Admission is free and they're will be merch available.
If the night is successful (which I doubt) I will be looking at bringing other brothers from the psych/space/kraut spectrum such as Mugstar, Litmus, White hills and more for any future events in this seasick town....
Hope to see someone there

This Spaceship person sounds very much like my kinda thing after a quick listen.
I've never seen the Earthling Society not deliver the goods live.
With the sad and untimely demise of Section 25 they are probably now this area's most high profile and internationally successful band - they are unusual yet accessible. What a funny town this is where people will watch mediocrities who wanna be big fish in a small pond yet ignore the real artists who achieve things in the big wide world outside Blackpool.
I would recommend this band unreservedly to anyone who enjoys boundary-stretching music. It would be really nice to see lots of people from this site there tonight.

Thanks very much for the kind words...It's strange that a hometown gig is more unsettling for me than the festivals and gigs abroad. Largely due to an uninterested town that fills me to despair when I see 20 people in the room. When it should be much more. I hope I see a few tonight. I would really like to build on it with other exciting bands of the psych / prog / kraut genre offering them a town and venue that will warmly receive them and proving that the gig world doesnt end at the Watford gap.... |

Here I am! Late as usual!
There's two separate issues here IMHO. Number one is that Blackpool, like many places, glories in the familiar and mediocre, eg fish,chips, end-of-pier shows and solo artists. 
Number two is that nearly all of the other local musicians who might otherwise attend such a gig are in total denial that there is a successful band in town and will keep away en-mass whilst staying at home learning each other's set lists. You dont have to be trippin to see green-eyed monsters! 
I myself am out of the Psych band scene for now, but I hope that my former ES band mates dont allow this criminal apathy to get the better of them. 
Steve (ES bass 2008-2009).

Very true. Not for the first time either - in the early 80s when the Membranes, Fits and Vee VV were issuing records and getting music press acclaim the local scene was dominated by MOR Rock Battle dinosaurs. And in the early 00s when the Hobs were getting featured in Mojo, Q, Record Collector etc in 'greatest psych album ever' lists we were subject to a de facto local ban on gigging.
It is not really a music town, more a town for people who want to be big fish in a small pond swanning around gossiping about each other in ever-decreasing-circles, people are like Last of The Summer Wine characters by age 28...rubbish. |
