****hello all, after a unexpected turn elmira landmine have decided to split, we have had an amazingly great year, we've had more fun than pat sharps fun house. we just want to say a hugh thankyou to anyone and everyone who came to see us play or supported us in whatever way they have. we've played with some fucking awesome bands so thanks to them. all we can really say is thankyou cause we enjoyed every second****
Richard,Steven,Matt x
Elmira Landmine consist of Steve Blackmore and Mattew 'Zendy' Townsend (former members of Soni-Quella), Richard Buckley and Robert Wisley aka 'Wiz' from Blakfish (Thanks for the loan).
Although the clear writing ability and ingredients of the sound of Soni-Quella are diluted they are still recognisable through Steve and Zendy, the introduction of Rich and Wiz has created a whole new sound. Steve and Zend were eager to move away from SQ and progress to a new, even more original style of music.
The introduction of Richard Buckley on bass had added a solid,melodic, harder hitting bass line and Wiz is complementing the writing of Elmira Landmine with sharp, technical beats that culminate in a new awkard, yet more direct sound.
Since forming in late Feb 06 Elmira Landmine have written and recorded their first 5 track EP 'Quester Reservoir Yault Collision' with Sam Manville from Blakfish and johnny from Secret Lab, whist in its final stages of mixing the hopes are it will be ready by the end of the year. Elmira has also had the pleasure of playing with such bands as SixtytwoPennies, Blakfish, Citizenhereandabroad, WatchthathorseFly, Godsownprototypes, Kids Margarita, Conquistadors, the cape of good hope and with solo artist Gemma Quarterman(Amazing, check her out). Whilst continuing to write and with hopes to spead their musical seed out from the Birmingham area, Elmira Landmine are now looking to Play in other citys.
