Eve 6 Media HQ Lost & Found - Lost camera at the Recher Theatre Show

Just got this post on the Eve 6 Media HQ Message board:

If you were at the show last night in Towson and found a red pouch with a camera in it- please please please contact me.. I am sick over losing my camera- I only had it 4 days and would really like to get it back. Any help finding it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Andrea

So, if anyone found Andrea's camera, please email her at the link above. I am sure she will appreciate it.

Eve 6's first national tour in YEARS commences tonight!

Are you excited, kiddies??? You should be! Tonight Eve 6 begins their first national tour in over 4 years with a show in Arkansas!!!

Yes, there are a lot of private college shows and 21+ venues mixed in, but if you live in the south, the Plains the Mid-Atlantic or the Northeast, you should be able to catch a show in the next few months (not to mention a few Southwest dates mixed in as well).

Now is the time to plan which shows you can catch. Best bet is to utilize Pollstar.com's Eve 6 page and the official Eve 6 Myspace for accurate dates. If you want firsthand info on show planning/ how to get into the college shows, etc, head on over to the Eve 6 Media HQ Message Boards. Once you make your first post in the introduction thread, you will have access to all forums and all of the great information within.

This is an exciting time to be an Eve 6 fan - now get out there and support Max, Tony and Matt!

The State Of Eve 6: Former touring bassist JJ Bannasch putting out feelers to rejoin Eve 6?

We here at the Media HQ have received word that a third party is sending out Myspace messages to fans of Eve 6 on JJ Bannasch's behalf, informing them that he wants to rejoin Eve 6. Below is the content of one of these messages:

I am writing to you and a bunch of eve 6 fans in hopes of getting support for my friend and former touring bassist of Eve 6, JJ Bannasch. He toured briefly with eve 6 for a few years. I spoke to him recently and he expressed interest in joining them again and if you could help me spread the word to other eve 6 fans it would be much appreciated. The more support the better. Thanks for your help!!!

It is the opinion of Eve 6 Media HQ (remember, Eve 6 Media HQ claims no affiliation with the band Eve 6 or any members) that JJ is NOT responsible for this "mailing" and it is the work of an overzealous fan. Regardless, it doesn't look good for JJ. If JJ wants so badly to be back in the band, he should contact them directly and talk about it - he shouldn't be telling Eve 6 fans about his wish.

Remember, Eve 6 Media HQ had an EXCLUSIVE interview with JJ Bannach back in July of 2006 and he had this to say:

It was rumored that you wanted to finish your schooling and thats why you stopped playing with eve6. is this accurate or is there any other reason?

I always knew that i was going to return back to san diego state university to finish my last two semesters of college after touring but that wasnt the only reason i decided to leave. there were numerous reasons i decided to stop playing with them and school was one of the reasons.

purely speclative - but if max and tony wanted you to play bass with them again, would it be something you would be interested in?

i have so much respect for max and tony, they are amazing musicians and good friends. i was so honored to have the opportunity to play music with them in eve6. last week i heard the their new songs for the first time and was really into their new tunes, so if they wanted me to play bass with them again it would not be out of the question.

full interview with JJ Bannasch here

The immediate question that comes to mind after reading that quote is what were the other issues surrounding JJ leaving the band in his touring role? It was reported (on message boards, of course) that JJ never really gelled with the band. That has never been confirmed, however.

In any case, it appears that JJ wants another go-round with Eve 6 and as we all know, there is still an open guitar position within the band. What we don't know is whether JJ plays guitar, or if he wants to play the bass again and allow Max to have more freedom on stage once again.

These questions will have to go unanswered for now. Meanwhile, head on over to Eve 6's Myspace and check out when you can catch them on tour!

Max singing on Megafauna's track for the Posies Tribute Album

Well, that title is a bit confusing. Basically, all you need to know is that Max is singing a classic by the Posies for an upcoming tribute album called "Coming Right Along". For a little background, Brian Young who was playing drums for Max's short-lived solo project "Brotherhood Of Lost Dogs", was formerly a member of the Posies. Members of the Eve 6 Media HQ Message Boards
report receiving a friend request as follows:

Max Collins sings with Megafauna on a killer cover of Posies track "Coming Right Along" on this record - check out the song on our profile!
