kirkt Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 We've had some great gigs in the last year and I think this is going to be another really special night. Especially in a venue like the East Neuk to see bands the quality of Even in Blackouts and Loudmouth. Please listen to Even in Blackouts and see what you think cos they are so awesome.

Camie Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Here is a review of one of their eps."Even in BlackoutsMyths & Imaginary Magicians(Hope and Nonthings)First Appeared at The Music Box, March 2003, Volume 10, #3Written by T.J. SimonIn an alternate universe where The Ramones played only acoustic guitars and were fronted by a female lead singer, the band might have sounded quite a bit like Chicago’s Even in Blackouts. The creative force behind Even in Blackouts is John "Jughead" Pierson, who was formerly the lead guitarist of the now-defunct Screeching Weasel, the band that brought punk to the suburbs before Green Day made millions with the same formula. Even in Blackouts' debut disc is Myths & Imaginary Magicians — a title that is decidedly more apropos for a Jethro Tull disc — and it’s an enjoyable 12-pack (13 with the hidden track) of accessible acoustic rock, free of the clutter of blazing electric guitars.Singer Lizzie Eldredge is Even in Blackout’s centerpiece, and she carries the tunes with a voice somewhere between Liz Phair and Avril Lavigne — a dynamic style with a touch of sneer and ’tude. The combination of her rich voice, the band’s acoustic guitar-driven wall of sound, and the standout drumming of Dan Lumley should be enough to bring a smile to most listeners’ lips. From the world-wise lyrics of Love Cynical Style to the wordy poetry of Missing Manifesto, songwriter Pierson does an outstanding job of turning his deep thoughts into hook-heavy gems. The musicianship is impressive throughout the album, including the unplugged, surf-guitar instrumental Subject to Blackout and the hard strumming rave-out 27 Seconds of Flame. Myths & Imaginary Magicians also contains respectable covers of the Screeching Weasel anthem Hey Suburbia; Operation Ivy’s ska-punk, underground classic Knowledge; and the 1982 Yaz single Only You.The only criticism to be levied against Even in Blackouts' debut is that the production has a do-it-yourself feel that, at times, makes it sound like an extended demo tape rather than a professionally produced recording. That said, this isn’t a symphonic rock album requiring a painstaking amount of studio tweaking. At its core, Myths & Imaginary Magicians is a punk album (albeit a gentle one), and the raw sound may have been a deliberate move. Either way, it boldly makes its case that Even in Blackouts is a band about which you will be hearing a lot more in the not-too-distant future.

David Insurrection Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Am thinking 'bout making this show. Ain't checked out the other acts playin' but have been digging Even In Blackouts. Love track The Writer. Been playin' it over and over. Hell, gonna go. Also tired of the kinda shows I have been making - ya know the scene that has sprung up around Filthpact, not to mention the countless irritations associated with that wider community. Is gonna be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camie Posted November 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I would say there are much better EIB songs than the Writer, but that it self is still a damn good song.Hopefully there will be a DIY stall but that's still to be confirmed.
