====== Flat Earth Artists ======

|**Name:**| Flat Earth Artists |
|**Founded:**| 1990s |
|**Founder:**| Members of [[Situation Taboo]] and others | 
|**Country:**| San Antonio, TX, USA |

[[Situation Taboo]] was a founding member of Flat Earth Artists, a collection of Texas Christian musicians and artists that included [[Shot Heard Round the Bloc]], [[Chris Taylor|Chris Taylor & Windows]], and [[Sixpence None the Richer]]. [[Chris Taylor|Chris Taylor & Windows]] included Matt Slocum, and changed their name to [[Love Coma]]. Robbie Vincent was also the bass player. One advertisement laid out the vision for the group:

"Flat Earth is not a label, Flat Earth is a grouping of unsigned south Texas artists seeking integrity in music, truth in life, and a collective voice. To our fans and supporters nationwide: thank you. Send SASE for catalogue and info on our Flat Earth newsletter, //The Coffeehouse Review//. Look for reps [[Chris Taylor]] and Phil Lovelady wandering around C-stone. Selah."

Other publications had various write-ups about the group:

"Arts co-operative that supported the early careers of performing and visual artists in the San Antonio / Austin / Dallas corridor in the early 1990s."

"Flat Earth has been formed to sidestep their frustration with labels, work together, fellowship, and more. "We're laying a good solid foundation. We want to protect ourselves from the 'Big Bad Wolves' (labels) which are a disappointment in a Christian crowd." [[Chris Taylor]] added, "We have a vision of what it can become, but no specifics ... Christian festivals ... we certainly have the land for it!" They have a publication - the voice of the Flat Earth Artists - titled //The Coffeehouse Review//."

"Flat Earth Artists could surprise us with a collection of the best songs by independents like [[Love Coma]], [[Sixpence None the Richer]], [[Situation Taboo]], and others. Individual releases by these artists are also expected
throughout next year."
