Burning with infectious melody and hook-laden craftwork Evan Gold presented his second independent release STEAL THE SCENE, in March of 2003. By late 2003 it had largely caught the ear of the indie community and garnered Evan offers from numerous labels. In March of 2004 Evan signed with the Texas based WTL Records to release a single culled from the E.P. August 17th 2004 was the release date for the limited edition single "The Sons Of Consequence” with a bold cover of Madonna's "Borderline" as the bonus cut on the 3 track single. "Robert Downey Jr." was also featured to round out the disc. ("Sons" was also featured on Shut Eye Records Buzzlighter 7 comp. in July of 04 - alongside Brian Jonestown Massacre and Dios) . The single was immediately embraced by College/CMJ stations as well as on web radio picking up speed in a short time and has sold in excess of 700 copies nationally & just under 300 internationally.
(Spun at WSBF - Clemson SC, WBER -Penfield, NY, WEFT -East Central Illinios KZSU - Stanford, WARC - Allegheny, WMUA, - University of Massachusetts, WRUW, WEFT - East Central Illinois Camden Country College - Blackwood NJ, WNRN - Charlottesville, VA, WNYU - New York, NY, WPRK -Winter Park, FL, WICB -Ithica, NY, WHRV - Binghamton, NY - "Sons" will also be featured on Relative Records upcoming “Relative Punk Rock” compilation as well as on Lollipop Magazine's upcoming MP3 compilation #67).
STEAL THE SCENE (nominated for a 2005 Radio Crystal Blue Airplay award in the E.P. category) was the follow up to his critically acclaimed 2001 debut effort APEX MATTER, which won high praises amongst the anti-folk scene in NYC as well as at the New York Independent Film and Music Festival [February 2002 @ Madison Square Garden] and the 7th annual Millennium Music Conference [February 2003 in Harrisburg PA], the latter of which found Gold headlining the acoustic stage. He would return once again to PA to headline at MMC8 in June of 04.
APEX MATTER [2001] yielded the single “Breakfast in Bed” which appeared on Shut Eye Records “Buzzlighter 3” compilation [March 2003] garnering national airplay. The slow rolling bongos and the creeping chords mixed with the passion stained vocals and cathartic climax proved a perfect example of the urgency and emotion which was displayed all throughout Gold’s debut effort.
“With the first record the template was more or less John Frusciante’s “To Record Only Water for 10 Days” meeting up with Radiohead’s “OK Computer” in a magnetic field to watch ships pass in the night,….but I felt that it wound up sounding like more of a snapshot then a moving life like image” says Gold of his first release. “My main goal with Steal the Scene was to have that brimming glow of life you know? ...not just a recorded sound but an actual 3D experience put forth from the passion within. I was really going for a Sunny Day Real Estate meets Social Distortion vibe with a little bit of Bowie’s strangeness and beauty thrown in…just for good measure.
Joined by Bassist/Percussionist Chris Tropeano [Gold’s collaborator for more than 10 years] Steal The Scene found Gold once again multi-tasking… writing all the material handling all the guitar work as well as the drumming and the vocals as he did on his debut.
Tropeano and Gold played together from 1994 through 1998 with the post-Alternative outfit RISE who released 4 independent e.p.’s as well as one single [“Small Sacrifice”] which found its way onto Reaction Records “Volume 6” [1996]. “When I joined that band I was 16 and when it dissolved I was 20….I learned a lot about hard work plenty about souring friendships and even more about the real world as I found myself on stages across Manhattan [CBGB’s, The Spiral, The Pyramid Club, etc.] Where I wasn’t even old enough to actually get in the door.”
After a 15 month stretch spent in California where Gold gigged and wrote all along the Northern region (San Francisco/San Jose/Santa Clara/Berkeley) on stages ranging from The Red Devil Lounge to Epic Arts Tea House (a converted apartment/art space) from galleries to cafes - Gold has returned to his hometown of Brooklyn NYC to live and record his first full length with Chris in early 05. He has already begun his campaign in support of the yet to be released record with shows at Canal Room Tribeca and Sin-e` and is currently in pre-production with Chris and Pat Fusco (drummer of The Milwaukees).
Plans now are for a mid-spring 05 release. - Label - TBA (offers are still being entertained)
