Influences: Influences!! Fie on influence!! we were born pure as the seafoam off Zeus' quivering pecs...actually, we can profess to a modest bit o' influence in the formation of the sound one associates when they think of "Evidents". To wit: I've always said to no one in particular that The Ventures taught me to play guitar, The Beatles taught me to write songs, and The Stones taught me to go start a Rock and Roll band. I was lucky to have an older brother with good taste who played in a few bands around Chi-town in the late 60's...other than that, I dig: The Byrds, The Kinks, The Who, The Velvet Underground, The Zombies, The Yardbirds, The Pretty Things (you get points for having a "the", it's not hard to see) and those wonderful bands that were inspired by these bands and others, "Garage Rock" Jack White calls it...later on...MC5, Bowie, Bolan, Stooges, Groovies...then The Pistols, The Clash, The Jam and The Ramones.
Of course today there's The Woggles, The Swingin' Neckbreakers, The Heatseekers, The Minders, The Apples in Stereo, Thee Monarchy V, The Subsonics, The Delusionaires, Telephone, The JC's, Outkast...and too many more to mention, though not all of these later ones are "influences" as much as "inspirations"...or at least, we consider them "contemporaries". If you weren't mentioned and consider yourself a "contemporary" or at least someone who drank with us, consider space limitations, of if you haven't drank with us, please chat with us here...that's what this wonderful online community is all about!!!
