EARTH LAB:
The brainchild of former HAWKWIND guitarist, JERRY RICHARDS.
Together with long time writing partner and current member of SONIC BOOM'S 'SPECTRUM/EAR' combo, ALF HARDY (TUBILAH DOG, CROKODILE TEARS), EARTH LAB exists as a vehicle for some of their more exotic and ambitious audio aspirations.
The project draws on the talents of many friends and musical acquaintances, including:
Former HAWKWIND members, STEVE SWINDELLS, (who, alongside Jerry, has played an integral part in the song writing for the album) on vocal and keyboards, RON TREE (vocalist and Hawkwind frontman during the 1990's) and the legendary violin skills of SIMON HOUSE (High Tide, Mike Oldfield, David Bowie, Japan.)
Also taking part are CULTURE CLUB drummer, JON MOSS, and MASSIVE ATTACK bass player WINSTON BLISSETT, both of whom Jerry first met through Steve Swindells, and subsequently collaborated with on Steve's DAN MINGO recording project over the last couple of years.
Former SUPERNATURALS and THE MIX drummer, ROBIN HILL, completes the core line-up of the project, with his long standing rhythm section partner, BARRY JONES, playing bass on several of the songs from the brand new EARTH LAB album, 'ELEMENT'.
CHRIS 'BB' ALDRIDGE came into the recording session to play his sublime sax and flute after a phone call from Robin convinced him to get involved.
Jerry's old friend and former SUN MACHINE and STAR NATION (with HAWKWIND drummer RICHARD CHADWICK) member, bassist STEVE TAYLOR, completes a Trans Atlantic connection.

Cheers for the comment. I enjoyed the festival muchly! I can't wait for the next Pre Med gig- you could stick us on some Hawklord support slots if you like! 2 great sets from yourself there too - i particularly enjoyed the laid back Earth Lab set.
Hi Jerry,...it's only cos I'm biased as I know Pre med,but Saturday was the first time I heard Earthlab and was mightily impressed!!! Looking forward to seeing you on the road sometime.
A real pleasure watching you guys doing your thing at Sonic Rock Solstice. It's all about the groove. And that's what you've clearly got. It connected to us, big style. A brilliant set.
We await the new album, you mentioned, in anticipation. Please keep us posted.
Nice one, thanx for the comment. Glad you liked the tunes. Yeah spillage is one of the demos that Tony Hands recorded. Like Spillage they are part of a side project (The Tea Project).
