Flat Dark Earth Flat Dark Earth is currently in the studio working on their full length album. They just released 3 new tracks from that album. Flat Dark Earth is currently playing shows and building a fan base in Wisconsin. They are hoping to be playing shows out of Wisconsin soon. Flat Dark Earth (FDE) formed in 2010 originally in Sheboygan, Wisconsin by Kyle Lemery (drums) and Cliff Wagner (vocals). Kyle and Cliff had been in a band together from 2000-2002. After that band broke up they went their separate ways. Music Brought Them Together In late 2009 Kyle and Cliff began talking about how much they enjoyed creating music, and in early 2010 they were back at it. About a month later Justin Brill (guitar) joined the band. He was highly recommended by a mutual friend of Cliff’s. Kyle, Cliff and Justin had a love for heavy metal and rock music. They decided to start writing and creating music together. Geeshik Borgenhagen (Bass) a long time friend of Kyle and a mutual friend of Cliff offered to play bass for the band. Flat Dark Earth LLC Due to the failure of Kyle and Cliff’s last band together, they were bound and determined to not make the same mistakes twice. After some discussion Kyle, Cliff and Justin decided to make Flat Dark Earth not just a band, but a company. So they put their first money toward an LLC. Self-Titled E.P. While in the music making process, the original plan was to create ten songs and record them. After some deliberation they decided to make a three song E.P. This was a difficult process for many reasons. The biggest problem was picking what three songs they wanted to use that would best represent the band. They look into many different recording studios and finally found one that fit and worked with them. In the summer of 2010 Flat Dark Earth went to Madison Wisconsin and recorded their three song E.P. at Paradyme Productions. After many trips to Madison and any extra cash the band had, they finally finished it to their liking. New Members: Geeshik had some scheduling conflicts and with the understanding of the band stepped down from playing bass. This did not stop Flat Dark Earth. With the idea of having a new bass player and a second guitarist they went hunting for some new members. Scott was picked up first to play rhythm guitar and in the process of teaching him the music they picked up Steve to play bass guitar. From there the rest is history.
