Eustace

About Me

"...possibly one of the most complex and refined sounds in the local music scene." -Melody Stone: Times-Standard
"...a newer Humboldt band that sounds as well practiced as those who've been around for years." -Jasmine Loucks: Arcata Eye
"...there is more energy in their music than anything I've experienced in the area, professional or otherwise." -Andrew Ho: Arcata Resident

Taking their name from a CS Lewis character, Eustace came together mid 2005 after playing under a different name for about 18 months. Having recorded an EP and LP during that time period and playing plenty of live shows in and out of Humboldt County, the band decided to move into somewhat different directions, both musically and lyrically. To facilitate this change in direction, the Roberts brothers began writing songs together and experimenting with arrangements with a small home studio setup. Drummer, William Startare brings a unique energy to the band thanks to his background in both jazz and rock drumming while guitarist Austin Roberts brings an atmospheric element to the bands sound thanks to his use of loops, keys, and effects. With Tristin's sense of melody and dynamic range and bassist Derek Chaney's sense of the groove, the band is able to craft songs that are exciting and original.
