The Sailing

The Sailing were a space prog rock band formed in Dayton, OH in 2002. They didn't release anything until in 2008 when they released their debut EP, The Floating Continent.

Formation
The Sailing started out as Fâtum in 2001, consisting of Mike Kirkland on bass, Steve Emmons on vocals and guitar, and Dustin Nash on drums. Tech joined on keyboards, James joined on guitar and vocals shortly after. In 2001, Fâtum released their self-titled debut EP. In 2002, they released Diving Board On The Event Horizon. Shortly after, Nash was fired and Emmons quit. It was for the best since neither were good. Gus Stathes joined on drums about a month later, and fit perfectly with the band as he knew how to play all of the songs. Finally they released When It Comes We Will Be Waiting, which was a massive improvement for Fâtum. However, that was their last album before they changed their name to The Sailing.
