OK I think that should be gabba but I could be wrong. Also You have to mention the fact that they are primarily a live dance act and that the studio albums while very good don't catch any of the sheer mental insanity of dancing in a field for two hours to Eat Static. One of about three dance bands better live than recorded. ED.

They are nothing like Gabba but I do agree that the live set is phenomenal. Does anyone want to tweak my edits about Joie's departure ?- I'm not quite happy with them. Turkeyphant 13:01, 6 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Well Turkeyphan its been a while since you wrote this,I've been following Eat Static since they were known as the Ozric Spinoff group, I agree with what you've wrote,Even in the early days they had their own unique sound,Yeah lots of UFO & alien abductions sound effects that I loved & still do,They Were & still are the best live act I've seen,No sometimes it didn't come through on the album it never does,Merv has carried the torch brilliantly since Joie was wanting to settle down with his family & was basically sick of touring & what comes with it, Good luck to him he's working on stuff just now,While Merv takes Static all over the world & he's loved where ever he goes,He'll be winding down his touring days shortly I would think? His latest album Dead Planet was/is another gem from the Pepler mind with great collabs.May the Static keep on Eating.......... Chemic Al (talk) 19:59, 29 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
