Dates/ News first night on earth is the vision of founder Wes Grasty, formerly a member of the band Laburnum. no one knows anything for sure, first night on earth's first release, is born of Grasty's gestation of songs and complimentary choice of musicians including Stephen Yount (guitar), Chris London (bass), Vance Carlisle (drums) and Tina Cargill (keys, guitar and backing vocals). Grasty received critical acclaim for his work in Laburnum including “Best Male Vocalist”, Creative Loafing, 1995. According to Magnet, Apr./May 1997, "Vocalist Wes Grasty is...an identifying trait...he's got a vulnerable, tuneful appeal." Grasty has taken his talents and unusual style and applied it to first night on earth. For their debut CD, the band rehearsed throughout the summer of 2001 and recorded at Scrimshaw Studios (Charlotte, NC) and Reflection Sound Studios (Charlotte, NC) in the fall of 2001. This album has a crisp, fresh new sound. first night on earth's surreal sounding guitars, cascading keys, thoughtfully placed bass lines, modern synthetic loops and driving drums help carve a new 21st century sound. Their mixture of rock/pop with occasional electronic beats and memorable melodies sets first night on earth apart from the norm. Additionally, Grasty's lyrics provide an enchanting and personable touch to an already beautiful landscape.
