| IN THE BEGINNING... Ceiling Fan was created in Athens, Ga in 1994 by Ben Spraker, David Gerow and Pete Hagerman. Hailing from Roanoke, Va., Gerow and Spraker have been making racket together since tee- ball. After meeting Hagerman in '94, they decided to get "serious," and a 4 track demo called "The Bean Sessions" was recorded that year in a late night session at Frijolero's . About the time Frijolero's closed down, Pete left for lower ground in Charleston and native Atlantan Jess Robbins stepped in. In 1995-6 a second demo titled "Blows" was recorded with the new lineup. Soon afterwards, a track from "Blows" titled "She-Hulk" was included on the "Treble Revolution" compilation CD on Kindercore Records. In the years to follow, a 7 inch single "I'm Not Metal Anymore" b/w "God Made the Flowers", was recorded, and in 1999 Ceiling Fan's first CD "Trick Music" was released. Composed of songs recorded live and in the studio between '96 and '99, " Trick Music" documents the multiple sides of the Celing Fan sound. Nowadays: The threesome have an as-of-yet-untitled kick-ass full-length new record in the can just waiting for funds to deliver it to the masses(There should be samples soon on the "Listen" page). Anyone with the wherewithall, gumption, and/or cuhones to invest in such an ill-advised and decidedly ludicrous venture should immediately be notified to email us immediately at dustyblades@yahoo.com... Immediately. In the meantime, keep clicking on Ben to see what shows are coming up soon. The shows haven't been updated regularly in the past, but that's all over. And keep yer eyes open for the hot upcoming new musical groups The Shut-ups and The Sunshine Fix and Wide Receivers, three of the best side bands that Dave Ben and Jess are in right now. | Click
