Tibet Benefit Concert CD Sheffield 2004



Ecanasia are a rock band who were formed in Sheffield, UK in 2004 and comprise of Richard Belushi Hunter on drums, Dan Boscaro on bass, Alex Dewett on lead guitar and Laurence Fever Landau on vocals and guitar. After exploding onto the South Yorkshire scene, the band soon became famous for their long, marathon high-energy sets, and after a highly succesful first year, they were nominated for The Soundaloud 2004 Best New Band Award, and even had their song, Fire Alarm covered at the awards ceremony by 'Tommy Binks & The Alcoholics'. They produced their only commercial release at the end of that year, their debut album, RockRollDanceDestroy, which was on sale in HMV for a short period in 2005. The band went on to headine the Devonshire Jam Festival in the centre of Sheffield in 2005, set highlights included cameo appearances from local rap group noXcuse and Existend guitarist, Stef Blackwood. Shortly after, the band decided to draw a line in 2005 and start a short-lived new band, Painkiller Jane, with a new sound, completely new material, and an extra singer shortly afterwards. The band have played several reunion gigs since, most notably reforming to perform at the Sheffield St Patrick's Day Guinness Tent in 2008. Read more on Last.fm.
