Eat Static are Merv Pepler and Joie Hinton, a dance music project from England formed in 1990.

History

---

Merv Pepler and Joie Hinton met as drummer and keyboard player (respectively) for the Ozric Tentacles, a long-standing psychedelic "space-rock" band from Somerset. Although the Ozric Tentacles incorporated elements of electronic music, Pepler and Hinton were drawn towards the rave-oriented dance music. In 1988 they collaborated on a project under the name of Wooden Baby which hinted at early rave and techno sounds as well as numerous other styles, and by 1990, the project had evolved in to Eat Static. Merv explained: "There we were in Ozrics doing all this technically impressive, weird music with mad timings, and getting really involved with it, and this experiment that became Eat Static was a good excuse to ignore all that, get the synths out, and be as stupid as we could!" 1 The duo toured in parallel with the Ozric Tentacles for several years until 1994, when they left the band to pursue Eat Static full-time. Merv and Joie are often joined in the studio by Eat Static's invisible third member Steve Everitt. Merv is featured on the 2006 Ozric Tentacles album 'The Floor's Too Far Away', playing percussion on the track 'Armchair Journey'.

EAT STATICってまだやってたのか。試聴できるんだけど当時(1993年)と良い意味で見た目も音も全く変わっとらん。ヒッピーサイケデリックテクノといいますか、今で言うトランスとは「トランス」という言葉自体が意味するニュアンスが多少違っていた時代の「トランステクノ」。
