The Necessary Evils
Interplanetary transmissions and the sound of blood lust - get ready for the extreme psychodelic and otherworldly sounds of the Necessary Evils. Their brand of sci-fi inspired fuzz rock stands alone. Founded in 1997 by Steve Pallow (formerly of The Beguiled) and James Arthur (formerly of Fireworks), and rounding out their line up with Kyle John Hall on drums and Jimmy Hole on bass, The Evils have carved a nasty path of destruction over the last few years. Their's is the darkest, sickest, meanest sound around - truly the product of a disturbed psyche. Steve Pallow's voice issues warnings and threats throughout their rock n' roll demolition derby while James Arthur wrangles sounds out of his beat up Electra guitar that range from the sound of metal on metal grinding to that made by a flying saucer. Jimmy and Kyle's rhythm gives one very fat bottom to this ugly beast. With a nod to 60's psychedelic music (see covers of The Seeds, Black Rose, White Light and ineptitude kings The Keggs). The Evils make a racket that's brutal, intrusive and uncompromising.
