Sora Shima is Adam Fulton (guitar), Gavin McDermott (drums), Jason Lurman (guitar) and Robert Shirlow (bass). Sora Shima began life in the warm, early months of 2006 in Hamilton, New Zealand, under the moniker of 'Amelia Blackout'. The original name, derived from random text in a spam email, was quickly dropped in favour of Sora Shima (or "Sky Island" in Japanese) - inspired by the imaginative worlds created by Hayao Miyazaki (Laputa) and Jonathan Swift (Gulliver's Travels). In April 2007, Sora Shima emerged from "the spare bedroom" and onto the stage. On a beautiful Sunday in August, Sora Shima recorded 7 songs at Dudley Studios in Hamilton. 3 results from this fiercely productive recording session have now found their way onto the CD being presented to you. The songs were recorded live, mostly on the first take - and mistakes have been left as they were made. Yet in some small way it successfully captures the intensity of the band during their live sets. We are Sora Shima. Thank you...
