Original photos of the Evils originally on “Whatever Happened to Rock and Roll”. Taken from shows on 12/6/2002, 12/31/2002(actually 2001), 3/1/2002, and 8/24/2002.

 

The Evils were one of the first local Atlanta bands we saw often in clubs. I don’t know all the guys but see them often. They play fierce balls out rock that is like a wall of sound. We usually see the band play at 9 Lives Saloon but once caught them at the Masquerade and they sounded fucking awesome. Not that they aren’t kick ass at 9 Lives Saloon but at the bigger venue they seemed most at home and they sounded much better than usual in my opinion.

I’ve since seen a ton of local Atlanta bands and I have to say that the Evils personify the true Rock & Roll attitude that a lot of bands today couldn’t even think of if they were payed to do so….Jett is in your face and on it 100% every time he plays and Evil Jim is the ruler of all bloody handed guitar players…..come back guys…We/Atlanta needs you.

Nostalgia ~mc~

8/3/19 ~mc~ Above is the original post BMF made to MusicFilter after the redesign in 2006. I have tried to find all the photos and movies that he took of The Evils in 2002 in the servers of musicfilter, in the tumblrs and in the archives of wayback. I found a few but not all. I have posted those below. I will have to turn to one of the computers he was using in 2002(we kept all our computers except his original that he gave to Todd). He always used a desktop. 🙂 I’m fairly certain they will be stored there, but that will be for another day when I can get it out of storage. So hope is still alive! The reason this is a big deal is first I just want to restore single thing possible for myself and second is because in 2002 there were not a lot of photos of bands because this was before cell phones had photos and a person would have to bring an actual camera to a show which could sometimes be awkward and weird, but BMF didn’t give a fuck. He just wanted to collect photos and movie clips. #57bmf4ever

In celebration of BMF’s birthday on August 5 and the just announced 20th anniversary show including The Evils, The Unsatisfied and The El Caminos it’s time to archive and update this page originally created by BMF who loved all of these bands and supported them for all of his time left on earth. Happy Birthday BMF! You are missed like crazy! #57bmf4ever ~mc

Nashville Pussy brought us The Evils.The Evils brought us The Unsatisfied and we wallowed in their Rock and Roll. BMF and WHTRR supported the Evils and they in turn supported BMF.

The Evils
I’ve seen the Evils play before with Nashville Pussy at the Echo Lounge. Last night at the 9 Lives Saloon their hard style hadn’t changed a bit. Their name, their logo, their style oozes rock and roll. Real rock that grabs you by the throat, holds on tight, and blasts right into your eyeballs. When I think of The Evils, I think of bourbon and coke, Winston’s, and a bike that’s as fast as it is loud. These guys are great and they play great. Go see them every and any chance you get. Check out their cool website too.(2/4/2002)

BMF Review of the New Year’s Eve Show with The Evils @ 9 Lives Saloon

01/02/2002

We had a great time at the 9 Lives Saloon on New Years Eve. Galleon started the night off with a drum less set. The group consists of Elliot Michaels, Jon Far, and Sean Young. One guitar, one rhythm guitar, and one bass comprise the groups instruments as they play a mix of original material as well as some old rock and roll favorites. Very original and unique is the best description I can give. After their set, the Breakaways blasted on stage with their version of what I can best describe as 80?s style LA punk rock. Their lead singer Alex in particular held my attention most of time with his in your face vocals and intense stage presence. After they loaded their gear off the stage on came The Evils. A local favorite of raunchy hard rock that resembles a mix of punk and hard rock. A great band to see anytime you get the chance. Next up was Gargantuan. From what I understand, they are vets of the hard rock metal scene here in Atlanta and they clearly showed that in their short set. Mixing originals with covers, their lead singer demanded your attention both during the songs and in between the songs with his rants. Next up was Dick Delicious. I had been looking forward to seeing them since I downloaded one of their songs recently and they didn’t disappoint. Loud, funny, on the mark with the music and jokes alike they are a band I look forward to seeing again. Highlight of the night may of been when the lead singer from Gargantuan, Shane, joined DD on stage for a kick ass version of “Big Stinky Pussies”. I recommend any of these bands live to anyone wanting to see talent as well as a great show. Till next time, VIVA LA VULVA BABY

On this same night we would meet The Unsatisfied

 

The Unsatisfied is a band we first saw opening for TheEvils at 9 Lives Saloon a while back. Jet told me before the show that I would really like the band opening up for them and the lead singer was a “crazymotherfucker!”. We were about to find out just how crazy. The band started playing and up walks(on crutches)this lanky dude. He was all over the stage, hoppin’ all around on one leg, and belting out some of the best vocals I had heard in a long time. To top all that off this guy had a stage presence that demanded your complete attention. Talent was the first word that came to mind at the time. The band literally chugged out the music song after song. Afterwards we got to meet the lead singer extraordinaire and the rest of the band. Eric is a super nice guy and from our first conversation it was clear to me this guy was on another level. We will not miss show one these guys are playing in the future. If you miss seeing them live you’ll be missing a great show and great band that has got nothing but great things ahead of them. Enough
.now go listen to White Trash. I think I like the rougher Evil Jim remix of “White Trash” as well. Level: 9
