About Me


Twilight of the Idols is a rock n roll band.
In the fall of 2002, Martin Atkins (Ministry, Killing Joke, Public Image Ltd.) took notice of a pre-Idols demo, called self and soul , independently pressed by Brendan Evjen under the name "formate." and co-produced by David Reilly of God Lives Underwater. Atkins selected two tracks from this demo for inclusion on Notes From Thee Real Underground 3, a compilation released worldwide that same year on his label, Invisible Records.
At this time, formate. hooked up with Grammy-winner Chris Vrenna (NIN, Marilyn Manson, Smashing Pumpkins) and recorded a cover of INXS' "Need You Tonight" featuring Vrenna on drums as well as producing and mixing, for the yet to be released Invisible compilation Dying To Be Famous.
Evjen has since created Twilight of the Idols, and crafted a new sound with echos of an era when decadence was embraced. This work began with a second Vrenna collaboration - "No Design" - and continued with multi-platinum selling producer Duane Baron (Ozzy Osbourne, Motley Crue, Motorhead) on "Liquid Platinum." The band co-wrote the new song "Slighted" with David Reilly just weeks before his untimely passing. The forthcoming debut Idols album Needful Things will be dedicated to David, without whom it might not have come to fruition.
More recently, Ken Andrews of Failure/A Perfect Circle fame produced and mixed two cuts for the record, "Add Vice" and "Body Politic." In addition, Chris Vrenna has been kind enough to take some time out of his hectic touring schedule as drummer for Gnarls Barkley to produce and mix the new Idols tracks, "Infinity Hz" and "Diamond Dust."
The Idols are now in preparation for live shows.
A grassroots glam revolution has begun.
