Biography

The Earthmen were an Australian indie pop-rock band formed in Melbourne, Victoria.

The Earthmen formed in 1991 as a jamming band in Melbourne, Victoria and were influenced by 1960s pop music. They recorded their debut single, “Stacey’s Cupboard” late that year with the line-up of Aaron Goldberg on guitar, Stephen Nash on guitar, Glen Peters on drums, Eric Prentice on bass guitar and Scott Stevens on vocals. Nash left in December and was replaced by Nick Batterham (ex-Blindside) as The Earthmen made their first live performances. The single was released in April 1992 on the indie label, Summershine. Their second single, “Flyby” in August was followed by an Extended Play (EP), Flyby and a third single “Cool Chick #59” in October. They released another EP, Teen Sensations, in May 1993 on Summershine. For United States (US) and European markets, Atlantic Records subsidiary Seed released an expanded LP album, Teen Sensations in July with earlier singles added to the Australian EP version.

In April 1994 they released, “Figure 8” and by May, Peters was replaced by Ben Bleechmore and Prentice by Robert Cooper, The Earthmen had their last Summertime release, The Fall and Rise of My Favourite Sixties Girl EP. Following their tour of the US and United Kingdom (UK) in July, Goldberg was replaced by Stephen Moffatt.
