During this time they developed their sound, and gathered a devoted fan base through constant touring on the east coast.

Press Reviews Evenstar: Support Your Local Bands Maybe I'm getting old (ahem - 26), but big venue concerts just aren't doing it for me anymore. Sitting in section 306 at Madison Square Garden and trying to rock out to Incubus or The Rolling Stones while straining to see their pea-sized selves, and well, aside from the sensationally loud yet muffled-sounding speaker system that pulsates each thumping beat through my very being, I'm just not feeling it. Not to forget the ever-present moshing, a crowd shoving and pushing sport - does this really have to be done in front of a live band? Why don't these people form moshing clubs, pump up the jam in the privacy of their own homes, and shove, punch, jostle, and push each other to their hearts content there? And the prices for these concerts? Don't get me started. LetÂ’s face it, for those who just want to feel the beat and rock and roll, the radio ain't cutting it either these days. So where are you going to get your fix? The solution - go out and support your local bands. The best way to experience great music is to haul your ass down to your local dive bar or small club. They're intimate, just a little bit smoky, and have just enough room to dance if you want to; or, if you prefer, there are usually seats enough so that you may sit back and simply enjoy the music. The best band to experience is one of the newest and lesser-known arrivals on the New York City scene: evenstar. In a sea of jaded rockers, punked-out punksters, and oh so blase psychedelic electro no wave artists, evenstar emerges as a refreshing, down-to-earth folk/pop/rock (label as you will) band whose powerful and melodic songs recall southern rockers coming out of music meccas Chapel Hill and Greensboro, NC. Headed by Chris Courtney, lead vocals and guitar, and Sal Prizio, guitar and vocals, the guys play a winning mixed set of carefree danceable-to tunes and self-reflective ballads that sound just as good acoustic as they do plugged in. Full of youthful energy and still poignant at times, it's the kind of music you can enjoy with or without the accompaniment of the hazy happiness that only a good ole beer buzz can bring. Spend an intimate night with evenstar, who often frequent Lion's Den and CBGB Lounge in the Village in New York City and various locations in CT, while you can before you find yourself paying forty bucks, not including Ticketmaster surcharges, to strain to watch them from the third tier of a sold out 20,000-seat stadium. They're already moving on up with a gig at The Elbow Room coming up this Wednesday, October 16. You can find more information about the band, as well as song clips and show dates, at www.Evenstarmusic.com. Evenstar, Mabel, Crabapple If nothing else, evenstar are ambitious and eager to please: The New York City-based band aim to provide the “most energy-filled power pop rock on the planet.” You’ve gotta like a band with lofty goals. In their attempt to wow the kids and to provide a “crowd-interactive experience” at their live gigs, the boys spruce up the set with clever introductory music excerpted from some of your favorite TV programs of yore—like Fraggle Rock and The Love Boat—and include song clips between their originals, which are guitar-based pop ŕ la Sponge. Albany’s own Mabel and Crabapple will share the bill
