Fertile Reality was founded in 1994 in a youth centre/club in Lisse, The Netherlands. The band evolved from industrial and psychedelic to moody pop, wave, indie and postrock. Exciting darker pop tunes and experimental tracks can be expected.
Why this name?
We thought about Fertile but decided to add Reality. I guess some kind of word joke....
Do you play live?
Not regularly but we try to play live couple of times a year. Concerts now take place everywhere in the Netherlands (and Luxemburg). In the past we sometimes were supported by slideshows and we would like to pick that aspect up again some time.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
A fair chance for everyone. It's easy to skip the crap but it's also easy to get access to similar spirits.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yep, without significant artistic concessions of course.
Band History:
1998: ep 'Micro' recorded in The Doomsday Reflex Studio, Lisse, by Niels Lefeber. 5 Tracks. One of them made it to national radio. Eighties influenced pop and some slower moody tracks.
2000: album 'The Longfield Battle'. Nice collection of postrock, wave, gothic and indie.
2004: Release of 'The Dune Of The Mill' and more and more attention from media and clubs.
Your influences?
Pink Floyd, Hawkwind, Swans in the beginning. Later on more Wire, Joy Division, New Order, Artsen, Television, Interpol and various indie and postrock.
Favorite spot?
More than a few.
Equipment used:
Just the usual stuff four a five piece band and as far as the recording's concerned...the equipment from Kratarknathrak (see elsewhere in the community) was used.
Anything else...?
Fertile Reality never killed their brains covering blues or rock tunes. The always tried to come up with their own songs. They've worked their way up in a relaxed mood without stress. It's a hobby, however an important one. So we'll keep it up the next years.
