Bio
In January 2012 EVEN is proud to announce the release of its sixth studio album In Another Time.
The Street Press Years (1994 2003)
It all started for EVEN in 1994 when Ashley Naylor and Matthew Cotter, former band mates from The Swarm, teamed up with Wally Kempton from The Meanies.
The bands first release was the In Stereo EP, released in 1995 on Rubber Records, and featured the track 24 Hour Cynic which received extensive airplay on community radio. This was followed up by another EP in 1995, Ten to Forty Six, featuring the live favourite Stupid Dream.
In 1996, EVEN released its widely anticipated debut album Less Is More. The album was critically acclaimed and received an ARIA nomination for Best Independent Release. EVEN was named Rolling Stone Hot Band of the Year. Less Is More was also recognised by The Age EG Top 50 Australian Albums of All Time in 2008, coming in at #36, wedged between Rose Tattoo and AC/DC. The album featured three singles, Dont Wait, Peaches and Cream and Stop and Go Man. Less Is More is the only EVEN album to be originally released on vinyl.
In 1997, EVEN released the One Side Not EP, named as a counterpoint to the Genesis album Three Sides Live. This release features notable live favourites I Have Nothing and Mayfair Laundry Bus.
EVENs second album, Come Again, was producd by American producer Tony Lash (Dandy Warhols) and released in 1998. It featured the singles No Surprises, Sunshine Comes and arguably EVENs most recognisable song Black Umbrella. The first CD release of this album included a limited edition bonus disc containing b-sides and other rarities.
EVENs third album, A Different High, was released in June 2001, and will be celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2011. It features the singles Shining Star and Electric Light, as well as the 7? vinyl-only release Rock and Roll Save My Life. The album concludes with one of EVENs most popular and majestic live tracks We Are the Purple Nazz. It is arguably EVENs most complete album and is sure to be considered a classically underappreciated album in years to come.
A compilation entitled The Street Press Years summarised the bands earlier releases, and is a great introduction to the band for new fans, with an added bonus for the bands loyal followers in the form of an exclusive previously unreleased track Time To See.
Chapters 4 and 5
In 2004, EVEN released its difficult fourth studio album Free Kicks, which was recorded during numerous sessions in Melbourne and the UK. It was also the only EVEN album not released on the Rubber Records label, released under the bands own label El Reno Records.
EVENs eponymously-titled fifth studio album EVEN was released in 2008, produced by Wayne Connolly and EVEN. Two singles were released from this album, Rainbows and I Am the Light both as limited edition 7' vinyl singles.
Two limited edition CD singles in 2009, Temperamental Flower and Back To Life gave EVEN fans a taste of what to expect on In Another Time . In 2010, EVEN celebrated sixteen significant years together with a series of special shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
Chapter 6 In Another Time
In 2012, EVEN has delivered In Another Time, which many EVEN enthusisasts have described as the bands finest hour.
