Yevtushenko

Artist Information

Biography

Yevtushenko is Amber Shine, Jeff Bazz, and Jeremiah Johnson. Shine and Johnson met in 2007 outside of Nashville and started collaborating soon after. Both decided to relocate to Seattle in pursuit of different musical avenues.

Jeff bazz arrived in Seattle in 2011 via Burlington Vermont after graduating with a degree in composition from Bishops University in Quebec, Canada. The three would later meet in early 2012 at The Rogue & Peasant, a short lived music venue and recording studio in Seattle, Washington where Shine and Bazz ran live sound while Johnson worked the bar. After an investor pull-out the R&P closed its doors leaving all three unemployed and free to pursue the musical collaboration that would later evolve into Yevtushenko.

Yevtushenko’s core is rooted in the blues with heavy influence from Metric, David Bowie, Beck, Jack White, The Sonics, Ted Leo, Robert Johnson, Iggy Pop, and Jimmy Page. Their experimental use of electronics in the form of cigar box synth, sampling, and found gadgetry blend well with Amber Shine’s powerful vocals, saturated tonal palette and near perfect diction.

Well, lemme tell you, because my brain is partially that of a horny 15-year-old boy, I immediately ran for a computer to find out WHERE this room could be and WHAT, in fact, was a yevtushenko. Instead of being an exotic... well, I'm not going to TELL you what I thought (because then you would tell me my brain is fried from too many years of watching HUMP! The Stranger's amateur porn fest), Seattle's Yevtushenko are a new, unsigned, female-fronted indie-rock band. They list their influences as the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Florence and the Machine, and listening to them proves this is true. They're good! ...give'em chance or, rather, "give a fuck." - KELLY O

  We all met at a venue that we use to manage. We worked together for about seven months before the venue had to close it’s doors do to investor pull-out. It was a brief “Empire Records” kind of thing, totally brutal, absolutely exhausting and completely defining. We learned how to work together, how to problem solve together, and when the venue closed we learned how to mourn together. Being broke, destitute, and hungry is a certain kind of motivation. We learned how to lean on each other when our world crumbled and our music and the band was really born from that place. We’re extremely motivated because of it.
