Brief Description 80s Synth duo including Mike Sangster later of Iowa's The Hollowmen and Head Candy and now solo singer-songwriter Eric Coleman.
History/Biography Soldiers In A Field was founded on a chance meeting between Eric Coleman and Mike Sangster at a yearly all day show in Lincoln, NE known as The Ordeal. Eric had played a solo synth set that had cleared the room. Mike had a Moog Prodigy and had been looking for like minded folks for some time. Eric and Mike played as a duo for around 8 months. 3rd member Alex Abajian joined just in time for the band to dissolve. Eric went on to be a solo singer-songwriter (eventually) and Mike went on to form Iowa's greatest band, The Hollowmen, and later had his biggest success with Head Candy. |
