Eve 6
Best known for the song inside out or as a lot of people refer to it as ‘the heart in a blender song’ Eve 6 were an anomaly nabbing a major recording contract when they were in their junior year of high school. But a changing music industry, burnout, and substance abuse led to the band calling it quits within half a decade. But they soon came back with one of the members becoming the unofficial king of twitter and I’m not kidding you guys, interviewing a presidential assassin. Today, let’s talk about the rise, fall and rise again of Eve 6.
Eve 6 would be formed in 1995 in La Crescenta, California in Orange County. Eve 6’s origins begin with frontman and bassist/ Max Collins, guitarist Jon Siebels (sea-bulls) and drummer Nick Meyers. The band took shape in Max’s freshman year at Crescenta Valley high school when he met guitarist Jon Siebels in Physical Education class.
Their influences included punk rock like Jawbreaker, pop punk like Green Day, all the way to tom petty, elvis costello, Pixies, CCR,and Built to Spill.The band first went by the moniker Yakoo and then Eleventeen, which was the name they had when they got signed. the name Eve 6 came just before they put out their debut record.. Eve 6 was inspired by an episode of the popular sci-fi show “The X-Files,” For the members it became a ritual to watch the x-files when they were in the studio taking a break.
With collins telling the world herald “remember the cloning episode?Eve 6 was on the plaque above a door to a padded cell that held the psycho dude.””
Getting back to their early days. The trio made the decision not to tour and not play popular LA clubs instead opting for coffee shops and backyard parties with Siebels telling an interviewer ““We kind of stayed away from doing the clubs a whole lot because a lot of the Hollywood clubs have the whole selling-tickets-to-play thing…. That’s just like the worst, to feel like you’re handing over money to play somewhere,”. “We’d much rather just pack out a coffeehouse and have a great time than to have the high stress of selling tickets.”
Some of eve 6’s early gigs saw them play at Eagle Coffee Pub, the natural fudge company, and cobalt cafe. It was at a show at cobalt cafe.the trio caught the attention of an A&R women who worked for an orange county punk label named Dr. Dream Records. She met the band and really liked their set and invited themto meet the label reps. Collins would remark in one interview that the label was where members of seminal orange county punk bands went to die -. But the members being 16-17 years old and being offered a label deal couldn’t pass up the opportunity, so they signed with them.
Eve 6 began recording with producer Steve Soto of the Adolescents. During the tracking of the drums, the label coordinated an interview with a syndicated college radio program called radio asylum. A women named Jennifer Harold interviewed the band and they did about 4-5 songs on the program. Harold really liked the group. Harold had been working with then-RCA act One Thousand Mona Lisas and knew label A&R man Brian Malouf. She sent a live tape of Eve 6 to Malouf, who liked what he heard. Eve 6 soon played a showcase for a few RCA reps with collins admitting the performance was terrible - recounting how there then drummer dropped his drumsticks during the showcase. Regardless the band signed a deal to RCA when they were in their freshman year in high school.. That A&R man Brian Malouf who signed them would tell an interviewer “they were very influenced by Green Day and the muffs It was a little noisy punk rock band. But you don’t write your best or most original songs at age 15. I thought if they were given some time to simmer and mature, they could write some very timely material in a few years.” This was around 1996.
The trio’s RCA deal did come with a few stipulations - one was that the members had to finish high school before they were
