TIDAL CONCERTS PRESENTS
EARTH PLUS SPECIAL GUESTS
Earth was formed in Olympia, Washington by Dylan Carlson. In the early days some of the members of Earth included Slim Moon (later to found Kill Rock Stars), and Greg Babior. The original lineup was two guitars, vocals, and various old analogue synths. After moving to Seattle, Slim Moon and Greg Babior exit… Dave Harwell and Joe Preston join the group. With this lineup Earth records in Portland, Oregon at Smegma Studios with Mike Lastra. Kurt Cobain (Nirvana) and Kelly Canary (Dickless) both contribute vocals to this session. Sub Pop becomes interested after seeing Earth perform live and agree to release the Portland sessions as the Extra Capsular Extraction EP. The release is now legendary for its ultra heavy and slow mammoth riffing, taking Sabbath and the Melvins to a entirely slower sub-level!.....
