All About Eve

[Judge gsz]

anyone familiar with this band? I rediscovered their "scarlet and other stories" yesterday in my cd collection. It's a really good cd.The band plays some kind of gothic/folk/rock and has an excellent female singer.

Some of their songs remind me of the old Anathema songs with female vocals. And I would not be surprised if this band actually influenced some of the early gothic metalbands. (scarlet and other sories was released in 1989). I believe they still exist and have done acoustic gigs the last years...

think I'm familiar with the name and their general sound, but I've not really listened to them. Any good songs you'd recommend?

Also Martha's Harbour is a pretty well known song by them.

my pleasure I found this forum while looking for some reviews on current Anathema gigs (hope to see'em tomorrow live) but your topic on AAE reminds me on some old and good music. I have to look in my archives from the early 90s. There should be some dusty AAE casette....

All About Eve have a new lease of life at the moment and are working on a new album and have been touring quite heavily in recent years. Initially they got back together when The Mission asked them to support them for a few dates and AAE have now done quite a few acoustic tours and more recently lots of electric sets as well as a winter themed album last year. They are on tour again in December and also in April 2004 so catch them if you can because they are as good now as they've ever been and the new songs they've written are fantastic.
