Evan Gold
Burning with infectious melody and hook laden craftwork, Evan Gold presented his second independent release, Steal The Scene, in March of 2003. By late 2003 it had largerly caught the ear of the indie community and garnered Evan offers from numerous indie labels. In March of 2004 the "right" offer came along and Evan signed with the Texas based WTL Records to release a single culled from the E.P. August 17th 2004 was the release date for the limited editon single, "The Sons Of Consequence" with a bold cover of Madonna's "Borderline" as the bonus track on the three-track single. "Robert Downey Jr." was also featured to round out the disc. ("Sons" was also featured on Shut Eye Records Buzzlighter 7 comp. in July of 04 - alongside Brian Jonestown Massacre and Dios) . The single was immediatley embraced by college/CMJ stations as well as on web radio, picking up speed in a short time and has sold in excess of 400 copies nationally, just under 100 internationally. It has been spinning at WSBF (Clemson, SC), WBER (Penfield, NY), WEFT (East Central Illinios), KZSU (Stanford), WARC (Allegheny), WMUA (University of Massachusetts), WRUW , WEFT (East Central Illinois), Camden Country College (Blackwood, NJ), WNRN (Charlottesville, VA) among others.
Steal The Scene was the follow-up to his critically acclaimed 2001 debut effort, Apex Matter, which won highewe praises amongst the anti-folk scene in NYC, as well as at the New York Independent Film and Music Festival [February 2002 @ Madison Square Garden] and the 7th annual Millennium Music Conference [February 2003 in Harrisburg, PA], the latter of which found Gold headlining the acoustic stage. He would return once again to PA for MMC8 in June of 04.
Apex Matter [2001] yielded the single "Breakfast in Bed" which appeared on Shut Eye Records Buzzlighter 3 compilation [March 2003], garnering national airplay. The slow rolling bongos and the creeping chords mixed with the passion stained vocals and cathartic climax proved a perfect example of the urgency and emotion which was displayed all throughout Gold’s debut effort.
After a 15 month stretch spent in California, where Gold gigged and wrote all along the Northern region (San Francisco/San Jose/Santa Clara/Berkeley) on stages ranging from The Red Devil Lounge (300 capacity) to Epic Arts Tea House (a converted apartment/art space), from galleries to cafes - Gold has returned to his hometown of Brooklyn, NYC to live and record his first full length with Chris in early 05. He has already begun his campaign in support of the yet to be tracked record with shows at Tribeca and Sin-e`.
Plans now are for a mid-spring 05 release. - label - TBA (offers are still on the table)
