Executive Relief
This is an offshoot of various other musical projects and includes songs with a more personal level of content. The music here was recorded in varying circumstances and over quite a long period of time.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Evan Arthur - Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Drums, Keyboards ....... you name it, I've probably played it on one of my recordings in the past.
The excellent Michael Glover plays fabulous drums on "Six Eight Jam", "Every Single Day", "She Don't Care About Time", "A Message From Donna" and "Dreaming Of Vicky" - thanks, Mike!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes, but not with much of this material currently as I'm working in other bands.
Your musical influences
The Comsat Angels, Pere Ubu, A Certain Ratio, The Fall, Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Captain Beefheart, MX-80 Sound, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, David Bowie, Iggy Pop......... just about anyone good, really.
What equipment do you use?
I like the convenience and the power of digital sound-editing software, but I also like older analogue gear and older instruments and amplifiers.
Basically, I'll use whatever I fancy if it feels right for the song.
