About Me

Psychedelic Rockers of the World Unite!
___________
Part collective/part intersteller communists, Spacecraft 7 have been around for ten years now! Can you believe it? We sure can't. Our goal: To become Canada's Pre-eminent Psychedelic Band. Or die trying.
___________
While maybe we have very little to show for it, we do deliver true Psychedelic/Indie/Prog rock as very few people CAN these days.
___________
Singing songs about Marcel DuChamp and Saddam Hussein ensure the band's mainstream popularity. No love songs from us!
___________
Coming from the grunge-laced nineties, "The Craft" retain their Anti-corporate stance. At least until a reasonable offer comes along! C'mon it's been ten years! Even Bob Dylan has sold out.
___________
Often described as self-indulgent/nerd-rockers, the band doesn't hold out much hope for their own popularity. "Usually we get the one weirdo dude on mushrooms who really digs us" says band brother Marc Fedak.
___________
With long, extended jams being the norm (but not in that hippy way), the band sounds better with every narcotic consumed (that's totally true). These boys don't mess around (sure they do but not with each other).
___________
We also have a new album coming soon! Much anticipated (at least by us).
___________
Hook up with Spacecraft 7. Realize your dreams. Get it on the Spacecraft way!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 1/4/2006
Band Website: This IS our website!
Band Members: The band features the song writing "talents" of Marc Fedak as well as Billy J. Coombs both on guitar as well as Jason Haddow slinging the bass and drummer DWIGHT SCHENK. Marc and Billy J met at college radio station 91.5 CJAM-FM and come from the long-defunked Windsor Ontario psychedelic band "Groundwater". Bill has an interest in film and works in TV. Marc was also in "The Prehistoric Cavestrokers" for many years and plays solo once in awhile. Jason and Dwight play in another band "Basement Arms" which gets alot more positive attention then us! They are much better at networking then our band for sure! And as for following the advice of others: all of us have day jobs and yes we do intend to keep them (for now).
Influences: "The Craft" combine the lo-fi sensibilities of the Velvet Underground and early Pink Floyd with a little Hawkwind, a dash of Butthole Surfers, 70's Miles Davis and any prog rock band you care to mention. A little country in the mix should confuse you right up!
Sounds Like: What do you want us to sound like?
Record Label: I wish! Our homemade label is K-Rap! Digital Rec.
Type of Label: None

Black Cloud Hangs Over Cameron House Gig

Sometimes Bill and I suspect that Spacecraft 7 has a "black cloud" hanging over us, threatening to sabotage our modest efforts. For instance, yesterday's gig was a near disaster, with Bill barely able...
