Techno Notice, Eat Static Live

Eat Static were formed in 1989 by Merv Pepler & Joie Hinton, then drummer & synth player for the legendary band Ozric Tentacles. They quickly made a name for themselves on the Megadog “live” techno scene of the early 90s playing alongside the likes of Orbital, Underworld & Aphex Twin. They were the first signings to Megadog off shoot Planet Dog Records, releasing their debut album ‘Abduction’ in 1993. Since then they have played hundreds of gigs worldwide and became one of the most respected and spectacular live dance acts around. They have been voted ‘Best Dance Act’ in the NME, achieved a top twenty album, headlined the first ever dance tent at Glastonbury Festival in 1995 and recorded two Peel Sessions. Whilst essentially a sci-fi influenced, trance / techno outfit, they have also incorporated drum and bass, breakbeat, latin, garage and ambient styles into their sound at various stages.
