"Here's to the night"

Eve 6 disbanded in 2004 at the band's last show in Gateway Arch in St.Louis but rose from the dead March 25, 2008 for Baltimoreans in Towson,Md. It's still the same band minus Jon Seibels, one of the lead guitarists due to his commitment to his new band, "Monsters are waiting." Original members, Max Collins (vocals, bass), and Tony Fagenson (drums) graced the stage with an audience of college students and 20-somethings pushing for the front row. Though several audience members, especially young scantily-clad women were perched in the middle: Collins, the lead singer, cemented his feet on the far left side of the stage for the entirety of the concert.

He sprung out old hits from albums "Eleventeen", "Eve 6", "Horrorscope" and "It's all in your head" and though his vocals mirrored what can be heard from these albums-his stage vivacity lacked. His arms practically stuck to his side and he would slightly tilt his head to avoid too much perspiration from singing , "Open Road Song". New guitarist: Matt Bair, strummed hard to the graduation anthem "Here's to the night" as if he were in the band for the last 12 years. Collins should've taken notice of his new guitarist and attempt to mimic the same energy for his flailing stage presence, and lack of mobility on stage.

When the band played "Tongue Tied", it launched a venue wide crowd surfing float of. Also, audience members bopped their heads until cricks were formed on several necks. Collins shifted a bit from the left-hand side but scurried back after he smoothly concluded the song with mellow vocals. As soon as Collins sang "I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rhines. But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside;" Fagenson, who also invented the band's name by stealing the name of a creature from the "X-Files," gripped his drum sticks and smashed his drums into the lyrics of the band's biggest hit "Inside Out." That concluded the concert with, of course, Collins still stuck on the left side of the stage.

The venue the band chose to play in Maryland was geared towards local talent since the capacity size fit close to 150 people, excluding the burly body guards of course. The Recher, located on 512 York Road is four miles from College of Notre Dame and the price range for Eve 6, as well as other concerts held their range from 15 to 30 dollars. So "here's to the night," they sang that night.
