Extra Artist/Song Information:
Feisty Stevens – The Zombies Are Inside out!!! is a mix/mash-up created by the masterful Kevan Gilbert. Gilbert took Feist’s cover of the Bee Gee’s song called “Inside Out,” which was featured on her “Let it Die” album and mixed it with Sufjan Stevens song “Illinois.” In my opinion it in an incredible mix! Who would have thought to mix the two? And who would have thought it would produce such a marvelous sound?

This weeks “Eight O’clock Double Shot” featured My Morning Jacket with their newly released album “Evil Urges.” My Morning Jacket was formed in Louisville, Kentucky back in 1998. Four years later the signed with ATO Records and produced 4 albums. Evil Urges, released this week on June 10th, and it’s their 5th studio album. According to Jim James, the lead songwriter and singer, the band wanted to get away from their usual rock and rolls sounds and sound more like they do in live shows. I experienced seeing My Morning Jacket live at Lollapalooza the summer of 2006 and they definitely have a more “funky” sound with their music in live settings. I personally think they’ve grown quite a bit from their other albums and I enjoy the work on this album. Some of it is still a bit too rock’ n roll for me, and all of it doesn’t fit in with the “alternative” type of music I usually play on Eventide, but overall I think it’s a well put together album and My Morning Jacket are overall a great band. The two songs I played for the “Eight O’clock Double Shot” were “Librarian” and “Evil Urges.” If you missed them on the show, I recommend checking them out!

I played both Rogue Wave’s “California” and Death Cab for Cutie’s “Cath...” because I was lucky enough to attend the Death Cab concert in Chicago on June 3rd at Chicago’s Pritzker Pavilion. The California band Rogue Wave opened for Death Cab and did a pretty great job. I wasn’t extremely familiar with them before hand, but after hearing and seeing them live I decided they were deserving enough to get played on Eventide this week. Death Cab, as always, was brilliant. Ben Gibbard, the lead singer, bounced around the stage as usual and the crowd was wild for them. “Cath...” is from their newest album that was just released May 13th.
