Artist History Taking its name from an aging waitress at the local bowling alley cocktail lounge, BEV was spilt from the blistering Central California sun by two members of former DefAmerican recording artists, The Supreme Love Gods. The band Formed in late 1997 as a guitar-oriented alternative pop band, BEV is best known for their four-on-the-floor, ass-shaking dance rhythms pulsing beneath heavy guitar and crushed velour voice. BEV have just released their first, self-titled, full-length CD of original material. The band plans to spread their delicious mix of retro-brit guitar, throbbing bass, and kick-drum-in-your-chest vibe to a wider audience this Spring. You can also hear the BEV song, ‘Lead Me On’ on the Cultivation vol. 5 CD compilation. Picked from over 600 songs as one of the twenty appearing on the CD, this should provide a small taste of what’s been cooking up in the kitchens of BEV.
