Eric Sands

Guitarist/Bassist for Progressive Rock band, "Man on Fire" who has released CD's on Prog Rock Records and 10T Records. Our recent CD, "Habitat" features Adrian Belew (Bowie, king Crimson) on guitar. I'm a split personality musician, preferring hard rock/metal when playing guitar and progressive/art rock when playing bass. I've developed a fairly unique fretless bass style which is showcased on three Man on Fire CDs. I also play bass for cyber band Virtual Strangers. I've released a CD with my 90's FunkRock band, Truth of Fiction on LionMusic.com. I'm originally from Forest Hills, New York, now living in Atlanta, GA. I've participated in several shred style tribute CD's for Lion Music and produced the Generation Ibanez Project CD featuring fine shredders and 7 string players from all over the world. I'm proud to officially endorse Ibanez Guitars, Kubicki Basses, Morley Pedals, Radial Engineering, Tremol-No, Scratch-Pad and Heet Sound Products Ebow. I'm always looking for exciting new projects, so drop me a line!.....Bass Related Reviews...Eric Sands fretless bass work is totally amazing." - Stephen Ellis, Prog4you.com"The Japan influence is particularly strong, with Mick Karn-like fretless bass appearing throughout the CD..." - Keith Marshall, Eleusis Music Pages"...and the fretless bass work is just smoking hot, really reminded me of Percy Jones of Brand X fame." - Jerry George, A&R Director ProgRock Records"The fretless bass playing is incredibly fluent, calling to mind Mick Karn or even Jaco Pastorious." - Dave Sissons, The Dutch Progressive Rock Page"...the trademark sound of Eric Sands shows that the bass can truly be a lead instrument with a wide range." - Chris Dixon, founder, Prog.net"...a heaping teaspoon of virtuoso fretless bass..." - Robert LaDuca, "The Prof of Prog"/NEARFest Organizer
