Email Egolikeness (at) egolikeness.com BIOGRAPHY Current line up: By 2000, Archer and Lynch were moving the project in a darker electronic/ dance direction, resulting in a self-released full length album entitled �Dragonfly�. After a short hiatus from recording and a lengthy period of trial, error, and revision, and many regional live performances, Ego Likeness signed with Dancing Ferret Discs for the release of 2004�s �Water to the Dead�. This album featured the band�s electronic roots while exploring a bit of a heavier rock sound. Their first album �Dragonfly� was re-released on Dancing Ferret Discs in 2005, and 2006 saw the release of their third full-length CD 'The Order of the Reptile' (DFD), an album that brought together several of EL's past styles, including darkwave, trip-hop, and rock. Between 2007 and 2009, the band released a single, �The Lowest Place on Earth� and three of the four �Compass� EPs ��South�, �West�, and �North�. Their fourth full-length, �Breedless�, was released in the spring of 2010 on Metropolis Records. The final �Compass� EP � �East� is scheduled for release before the end of the year. EL has toured the continental US, Germany, Luxembourg, Poland and the UK, as well as performing at several festivals on the east and west coast, including Convergence 11 (San Diego CA), Dracula�s Ball (Philadelphia PA), Black Sun Festival (New Haven CT), Freaks United (DC), Eccentrik Festival I (Raleigh NC), Dragon Con (Atlanta GA), Wicked Faire (Whippany NJ) and more.
