Artist History Aaron's first band was called Youth Supremacy, and played "loud" punk rock with socio-political themes. music. The band went through ten drummers and a few guitarists and a bass player in it's two years before there trans formation into The Junkies Revenge. JR was a completely sarcastic arstic "reality terrorist organization" focused on shaking up people's belief systems with controversal performances. These performances revolved around changing skits and were often spontanious and included improvisation and audience participation. The purpose of the project was to shock the audience into questioning themselves and the world aroud them. The sound style was chaotic with loud distorted giutar, pounding bass, machine gun drums, skreaching synths and relentless vocal assult. Their feature performance at Twinfield highschool included stage theatrics such as self mutilation, throwing of raw meat, and breaking stuff, all done with a smile. The performace pushed the limits of audience participation by involving everyone present in the music physically, mentaly or emotionally in some manner, especially the adults present. The result was total anarchy, mass confusion and the largest profit to investment margin of their carreer. As band members came and went, the two founding members (Lucas Veraline and Aaron Jones) adapted their act to hit the streets (mainly Church street in Burlington and city center in Montpellier). Performing on the street with acoustic guitar, found percussion and a occasionally a Dr. Sample they transformed the act into a more lis tenable and less hostile expression. These performances included social politcal and philosophical satire in the music and a rollerblading balloon clown to interact directly with the audience. This served as the transition to a more refined style an d the new name Nihlarchy. The band started to embrace keyboards, samples, and effects into the music resulting in an experimental touch to the raw energy of previous years. Nihlarchy made use of several new performace techniques during this time. In addition to the introduction of electronic instuments they also utilized found metal objects as procussion to balance out the electronics and intagrated paper mache' masks, sculpture, lighting, and weird plasic machine waste as door prizes, stuffed animals and nerf weapons (for the audience members lacking the attention span for the plot or message), and home made costumes. This time period included the lord mung who was a false idol (a 4' back cat) we pretended to worship then sacrafice at our first presentation and ressurected it as a character for The Post Industrial Hate Machine (which was their primary act for indoor performances). They performed their last show in the parking lot, at Bread and Puppet's last traditional Domestic Resurrection Circus. The performance was only about 35 minutes (due to the inverter requiring the vehicle to be running) and took place inside a tarp-structure with translucent and opaque plastic and set up to obscure/ present the art and music inside. The set was illuminated by only a red, blue and strobe light and only the window was a partially open part of the tent 2' in diameter that allowed one person at a time to enter on their hands and knees into the set. The view was mostly obscured by the peculliar mixed media sculpture by, Aaron Jones, allowing only glimps of the masked and costumed shadows inside. The band fell apart when Luke left to major in microbiology at the University of Chicago. Since then Aaron Jones went through a pediod of remission, only doing short and mostly acoustic performances, developing his musical abilities, and aquiring the advanced sampling equipment to compose and perform songs alone. JR met it's end when co-founder Lucas Veriline left to study molecular biology at the University of Chicago Dievolve rose out of the ashes as a concept descrbing the constant evolution of life and art. Dievolve is relead thier first full length album along with two 5 song demos. Aaron did all the vocals and instramentals on the disc. Aaron Jones has also studied Blacksmithing and metal fabrication for 3 years and offers a variety of scultpural and functional products and services. Aaron The original music video was used for a video installation performed and constructed by Dievolve founder Aaron Jones. It consisted of a four foot cube covered inside with reflective sheet metal and outside with smashed and charred circuits. The front is a scrim mesh screen with a smashed TV covered with bars and layers of warped window screen in place of glass, centered in the middle. When you look through you can see the American flag painted on the back wall. For the installation, the flag was covered with a textured glass surface that Aaron was spinning from behind, dressed in an Uncle Sam costume. When the audience's curiosity was peaked the glass shattered and exposed the texture of the flag. Waves on the red suggested a sea of blood while the blue was a thick layer of drips suggesting tears and the white stripes were lined with white pill bottles with skulls on them. The piece now sits atop Aaron's dead Volvo wagon. Aaron Jones has also studied Blacksmithing and metal fabrication for 3 years and offers a variety of scultpural and functional products and services. After Goddard College closed he left Veromont and recorded his second album. Evilove turned out to be a radical shift from the first, probably to show his divercity and growth. With pop-esque hooks and styles from the past present and future Dievolve started to make its vision clearer. For more information contact Aaron Jones @ Dievolve@lycos.com ˇ ô T
