About Me

High! Evident Crutch is a solo project created by Paul Evans over a year ago. I decided to record some songs that I have written over the years but didn't really fit into any of the bands I've played with (Vicious Fishes, The Assholes, Issa Joone, Sucka-Punch). Songs by Evident Crutch retain the unique style I have developed while having a more structured approach to emphasize melodies and multiple guitar parts. Although I've played Guitar and Bass in several different bands and genres, Evident Crutch is the first time I've recorded an entire CD in which I ended up performing every instrument on every track."The Purpose of the Evil Rule" is the first full length CD (12 songs) from Evident Crutch. I am currently finishing up guitar solos and vocals and it should be available in the Fall 2009. I'm in the Bay Area so you know I'll be selling them from my trunk.In addition to Evident Crutch, I am also playing guitar for 8086, a Bay Area band specializing in Dark New Wave songs. The Fixx, Oingo Boingo, Gary Numan, Tears for Fears, Flock of Seagulls, Joy Division, and INXS are just some of the cool bands from the 80's we're covering. We've played shows at Pier 23, The Rockit Room, The Peacock Lounge, 19 Broadway, The Stud, Grant & Green, and lots of parties.Recently, I've joined forces with Profetic Lyrics and Epidemik Records as the guitarist in support of Profet's new album (available now on itunes!). Our band, Product Of Environment (P.O.E.), has several performances already lined up in the East Bay and SF.I would also like to play guitar for a band that covers modern-rock songs (RATM, Korn, Beastie Boys, Avenged 7x, etc). ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------
