Spaceseed

This North American space rock act was founded in 1988 in Atlanta Georgia by guitarist John Pack. The group spent a number of years "testing" ideas in the studio as well as performing live at events like Lollapalooza and a myriad of chic clubs. Former band members include: I Rock (Saxophone) Danny Simmons (Lead Guitar/vocals), Mitch Cherry (Drums),Kelley Bolton Kenderick (vocals)Chris Kemp (Guitar) Rob Ayers (Arp Odyssey synth). Breaking onto the international scene in 2003 the group joined forces with forces with Nik Turner (Hawkwind/Space Ritual). Turner is one of the founding fathers of the Space Rock. The combo recorded and toured together for two years delivering red hot renditions of Turner Classics and Spaceseed originals. It was during this time that Future Cities Of The Past Spaceseed's debut disc was produced and released. It features performances by Pack, Turner, The Subliminator and Gal-Axy. In 2004, Mark Reiser became the official band artist. 2005 brought about the advent of the Pack, Brian Fowler guitar team In this same year the group found itself paired with another space rock heavy ,Harvey Bainbridge. At this time the combo with Bainbridge in tow holed up in the North Georgia mountain town of Cartersville and recorded The Empire Of Night Featuring a demented, performance by Bainbridge, a cameo by Bob Harvey and a large chunk of lyrics by Bostonian space man Paul Angelosanto from the band Astro AL. On Empire the group cast space rock against the shadow of an Orwellian society. Dark and eerie it set the pace of the groups future work This mayhem was unleashed on the world by Zeta Reticuli Records.The disc also featured the first studio appearance by long time member of the groups touring unit John Stanton a veteran of the Washington D.C. music scene.
