The Earons are a self-described “astro-funk” band from “Earon Earth.” They were inspired by the cosmic mythology of Sun Ra with a bit of Anthony Braxton’s mathematica.

Group members use the following stage names: .28 (a.k.a. Henry Pizzicarola, vocals), .22 (Percival Prince, guitar), .33 (Kevin Nance, keyboards), .69 (Melvin Lee, bass) and .18 (Lonnie Ferguson, drums). In 1984 they topped the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart with “Land of Hunger.” To date, they have only released one album, “Hear on Earth”, on LP and cassette (it has never been released on CD).
