From the The Daily Athenaeum: The wildly successful pop-punk band Eve 6 is coming to Morgantown this weekend. Best known for their hit songs “Inside Out” and “Here’s to the Night,” Eve 6 was a fixture in the music scene of the late ‘90s and early 2000s. Originally formed in 1995, the band went through some name changes. At first, they were called Yakoo. Shortly after, the name was changed to Eleventeen. The name Eve 6, a reference to drummer Tony Fagenson’s favorite show “The X-Files,” wasn’t decided until later. Eve 6 found almost instantaneous success with the release of their first self-titled album, which reached platinum and spawned radio successes such as “Inside Out” and “Leech.” Their second album, “Horrorscope,” brought the band even more success with more radio hits. Unfortunately, despite the success, not all was well in paradise. Due to their rapid growth, the band members found themselves under significant stress. After the poor reception of their third album, “It’s All in Your Head,” Eve 6 declared an indefinite hiatus in 2004. They would remain apart until 2007. Now back together, Eve 6 released a new album, “Speak in Code,” in 2012. The band members are excited to be playing together again. Eve 6 will perform at Schmitt’s Saloon Sunday. Jason Lottmann, director of artist development for Star Crossed Artist Group, has taken on a concert promoter role to bring Eve 6 to Morgantown. “Every now and then, we take on a concert promoter role by teaming up with venues to bring in bigger acts,” Lottmann said. “This will be the second time I’ve worked with Eve 6, the first time being in September of 2012.” Lottmann is excited to bring the band to Schmitt’s Saloon and believes the show will be quite exciting, thanks to the venue. “Schmitt’s is easily the premier concert venue in the area,” Lottmann said. “They’re only two years old, but they’ve grown mightily in just that short time. They have a strong reputation for putting on the best shows in the area, we believe.” Eve 6 is expected to put on a good show. The band has experience playing live music for almost two decades now. Lottmann said he expects the show should be amazing. “The crowd will be going wild,” Lottmann said. “They put on such a great show.” Joining Eve 6 at Schmitt’s will be a few local bands, including Qiet and A Race Against Time. There will also be three singers/songwriters from out of town: Nicola, Matt Colligan and Will Duvall. Schmitt’s schedule is jam-packed for the whole night. The concert starts at 8 p.m. Oct. 26. Tickets start at $25 and can be purchased online at eventbrite/e/eve-6-tickets-13165455231/.
