Editor’s Note: The following post was written by special contributor to Eve 6 Media HQ, Jeff Sturman.  Jeff is a longtime Eve 6 fan and active member of the Eve 6 Media HQ message board (username: jms999).  He is also the rockstar Eve 6 fan who provided the kick-ass Eve 6 live videos from April 2011′s Eve 6 shows in the Carolinas.  Jeff is part of a close knit group of Eve6′ers who stuck through the “dark years” of Eve 6 fandom and lived to tell about it. You can find all of his YouTube videos under the username GreatLiveMusic99. What follows is the history of Eve 6 from 2004 – 2011, as seen through the eyes of a creature we’re very familiar with around Eve 6 Media HQ – the hardcore Eve 6 fan.

The Breakup

In mid-2004 rumors began to fly that our world was coming to an end and one of the most underrated bands of a generation was going their separate ways.  While no “official” announcement was made, some people “in the know” confirmed that the band was released from their record label and the band would be splitting.  On July 15th, 2004, the world did in fact come to an end for Eve 6 fans when the band played their last show on a beautiful summer evening under the arch in St Louis, Missouri.  There was no long speech, no sappy goodbyes – just a rocking set and some heart felt gratitude toward the fans and road crew who had supported them through the years.  As the closing notes of “How Much Longer” faded, fans started to wonder if that was truly the end of Eve 6.

A favorite pastime here at Eve 6 Media Headquarters is to peruse YouTube following EVERY Eve 6 show to see what kind of footage Eve 6′ers around the country have captured.  This week, we were pleasantly surprised when we came across some videos from Eve 6′s recent festival show in Val Du Lakes, Michigan shot by YouTube user “michaelbacontube.”  Much to our delight, we found out that Michael has long been a fan of Eve 6 Media HQ and is HAPPY to help contribute to the site.  After the jump, you’ll find Michael’s footage of Eve 6 playing two UPDATE: four of their brand new songs – “Lost & Found,” “Bad News,” “Everything” and “Underachiever.”  Not sure about you guys, but we get more and more pumped about Eve 6′s new album every time we hear these new songs.  Like we’ve said before, “Lost & Found” has HIT written all over it!  Enjoy!
