The Evening Episode

The Evening Episode was formed in early 2004 by Brian True and Ira Skinner, fueled by an experimental desire to mix organic rock with computer-generated electronic music. Teresa Eggers was added as the front woman and the three piece recorded an unnamed demo and went on a west coast tour. In fall of 2004, Chris Loental (bass player for Red Tyger Church) joined, adding a bass guitarist to the band. After a few West Coast mini-tours and another demo (“Post Humous”), the band was signed to Slowdance Records in 2005. Their 2006 release, “The Physicist Has Known Sin”, was met with positive press as were their high-energy live performances. The band has played many shows all over the West Coast and Midwest. In fall 2006, they played the Slowdance Records showcase at CMJ.



In early 2007, True and Eggers left the group to pursue other interests. Skinner and Loental decided to continue with on with Evening Episode, combining the efforts of The Paisley Project (Skinner and vocalist Josh Heinze’s side project) with other newer Evening Episode material. Keyboardist Genaro Ulloa (of Scene Index) and vocalist Terra Lopez (of Kyoto Beat Orchestra) were added to make the band complete. This new reincarnation of the Evening Episode played together with additional changes to the line up, Kevin Dockter on guitar & Corey Bristow on Bass.



In the fall of 2008, with love in our hearts the Evening Episode decided to call it quits. Playing their last show on Nov 1st 2008 with Terra Lopez on Vocals, Kevin Dockter on Guitar & Ira Skinner on drums. Ira Skinner would like to thank all of our fans for supporting us for the last 5 yrs.

The Evening Episode "Backstroke" - My, this is a sweaty little song, isn't it? Not just in terms of the lyrics, which scan like a young woman attempting to write a sex poem in Lee Ranaldo's voice, but in how the music actually feels slicked up and humid. The vocal delivery is right on the mark, building up narrative anticipation along with the accompaniment until it breaks loose like a thunderstorm on a summer afternoon. Also: This is probably the sexiest song I've ever heard that includes the phrase "swimming like an otter." --- www.fluxblog.org
