[edit] History
[edit] Formation
Sky Eats Airplane started off as a two piece with Brack Cantrell on vocals and Lee Duck on guitar. Before they formed, Brack and Lee were in two separate bands. After Brack's band broke up due to personal problems, Lee asked him to join his band. The two began experimenting with electronica programs and Sky Eats Airplane was born. [1]
[edit] 2005-present
After working on some demos, the band quickly became well known locally. They began working on their debut album Everything Perfect on the Wrong Day in early 2006. Over a three month span they self produced the entire nine-track album. Sky Eats Airplane held their CD release party for their debut album at The Door in Fort Worth, Texas. [2]
In the fall of 2006 Brack decided he no longer wanted to take part in the band. He left wanting to pursue softer music. Lee, still wanting to continue the band, asked Zack Ordway, Johno Erickson and Kenny Schick of a recently broken up local band to join. After a two month search Jerry Roush joined in as the vocalist, Sky Eats Airplane was now complete.[3] In 2007 they released three demos on their myspace, which brought much attention to the band. They began touring through out the year and signed to Equal Vision Records in early 2008.
In early 2008 the band entered Salad Days Studios in Baltimore, MD with producer Brian McTernan (Circa Survive, Thrice, The Bled, Senses Fail), to record their self-titled follow up album. The album is set to released on July 22, 2008 through Equal Vision Records[4]
