A tech-boffin of a northern monkey. When he's not on the guitar or mic he can usually be found tinkering with some kind of musical gizmo.
Oliver Philpott - Guitar, percussion, backing vocals.
A bass obsessed Scotsman. So obsessed with the deeper sounds; he ripped the B string off his guitar and downtuned the others by who knows how many steps.

Here are a few reviews: Glasgow PodcART Artist of the week 13th June 2009 - "Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jnr are previous bands that had the same gift to create songs of clarity. Solid bass lines and syncopated melodies combined with a staunch percussion have an overwhelming effect. They penetrate your mindset and stay with you so that your inner self is singing them without you even realising."
FMS Promotions - Track of the week (Landmine) 1st September 2009 - "Electric Fan Death serve up a unique and vital sound with a beachboys arcade game electro fusion that curiously works. - Landmine was an instant classic"

The Meaning Behind The Name
We just realised that most people out there probably don't know what 'electric fan death' actually means. Maybe you're thinking it's where an electric fan gives up and dies or maybe you reckon it's a bizarre execution method for fans of competing music makers involving a few thousand volts of 'lecky. Well in both cases you'd be wrong.
Electric fan death is actually a South Korean belief that if you leave an electric fan on in a room where you sleep it may take away all the air or cause hypothermia and kill you. Here's a wiki page to further explain. Enjoy.
The turkey shot out of the oven and rocketed into the air, it knocked every plate off the table and partly demolished a chair.
It ricocheted into a corner and burst with a deafening boom, then splattered all over the kitchen, completely obscuring the room.
It stuck to the walls and the windows, it totally coated the floor, there was turkey attached to the ceiling, where there'd never been turkey before.
It blanketed every appliance, it smeared every saucer and bowl, there wasn't a way I could stop it, that turkey was out of control.
I scraped and I scrubbed with displeasure, and thought with chagrin as I mopped, that I'd never again stuff a turkey with popcorn that hadn't been popped.
Thanks for the add! I'd love to hear what you think about my music. Keep checkin' my page for upcoming shows and updates! Next show in Nashville will be TONIGHT @ 12th and Porter. Hope you can make it out. Keep in touch....Ben.

In every change that you experience in life, there will be times when you'll wonder if you can endure. But you'll learn that facing each difficulty one by one isn't so hard. It's when you don't deal with a situation that it sometimes comes back to confront you again. Changes are sometimes very painful, but they teach us that we can endure and that we can become stronger. Everything that comes into your life has a purpose, but the outcome is in your hands by the action you take. Be wise with your life, be willing to endure, and always be willing to face life's challenges

Always aim higher than you believe you can reach. So often, you'll discover that when your talents are set free by your imagination, you can achieve any goal.
If people offer their help or wisdom as you go through life, accept it gratefully. You can learn much from those who have gone before you. But never be afraid or hesitant to step off the accepted path and head off in your own direction if your heart tells you that it's the right way for you.
Always believe that you will ultimately succeed at whatever you do, and never forget the value of persistence, discipline, and determination.
You are meant to be whatever you dream of becoming.
