The end does not always come with the credits...

About Me

We're not saying it's a full blown reunion, but some of us are going to jam together again, and maybe play a show. Who knows...
This page is now all about the original 98-99 version of FES. Although V2 shared the same name, members and songs, it really wasn't the same band at all. It's kinda like the old and new Star Wars films. It's complicated to explain. Maybe one day we'll put it all in writing for those who care to read. For now, Enjoy the music!
THE FLAT EARTH SOCIETY NAME: When deciding on a name that would both sound cool and have meaning, Flat Earth Society seemed to be the obvious choice. It's most often recognized from the Bad Religion song on the Against The Grain cd. We figured that would be a bonus since we have similar melodies to BR. It's also known from the group headed by Thomas Dolby "The Flat Earth Society". There are also a select group who do actually believe the earth is flat. We do not fall into that category. We look at the Flat Earth Society name as a metaphor for today's society. When people believed the earth was flat everyone thought it to be fact. Today we look at them as fools. How will today's society look in another couple hundred years? We have people getting paid millions of dollars a year to play sports, while war veterans are sleeping and dying in our streets. There are still countries where women are treated as second class citizens and in some cased stoned in the street! We keep dogs and cats as pets, while we perform unspeakable tests on lab animals. People kill in the name of religion Every Day! So are we the "new" Flat Earth Society? Sadly enough, we think so...........

It simply amazes me how many people continue to add us.  I mail them saying, "we're no longer a band".  I mean damn, it says it all over our page.  But then they go "oh, really, thanks ...
