Ta^n from the norm Intellectual pop rock band Evelate doesn't lose sight of the music in a world dominated by starry-eyed wannabes BY AMY LICHTY SENIOR PULSE REPORTER What better way to make millions of dollars, meet women and become a household name than to join a band? Being the next rock star is every young musician’s dream. Un fortunately, sometimes the Holly wood lifestyle can cause musicians to lose sight of the most important aspect of being in a band the music. However, there are some bands that come through Eugene that have their sights set for spotlights in ven ues scattered across America rather than the bright lights of Holly wood. Evelate happens to be one of those bands, and fortunately for Eugene music fans, they will be play ing at Diablo's Downtown Lounge Friday night. Founded in a Corvallis apartment complex by three friends, Evelate has strong influences from across the musical board, including Sub lime, 311, early Incubus and System of a Down. "I would call our music 'switch rock,'" Chris Baron, lead singer and guitar player of Evelate, said. "It’s like alternative rock, but it has a lot of changes and funky transitions; it's highly organized." Bassist Brody Lowe agreed, describing their music as eclectic and original. "It's kind of an intellectual pop rock. It doesn't really stay within the pop rock realm," said Brody, an Ore gon State University student. "It kind of goes out into different chord changes and it's something you don't really hear in music today." "That's been our goal as a band up to this point: to make music that is abnormal, but that's still accessible to the average listener," Andy Sad owski, drummer for Evelate said. "We try to mix technically complex music with catchy hooks and di verse transitions and we wantto keep our listeners on their toes." Evelate has keptthis promise for almost two years. All three members of Evelate were previously involved with other musical projects, but de cided to dedicate as much time as possible to developing their own new music. Their name was derived from a song by Rush, one of Sad owski's biggest musical influences. "Being a die-hard Rush fan and thinking of how they inspired me, I remembered a line from one of my favorite songs by Rush," Sadowski said. "It's called 'Vital Signs' off the 'Moving Pictures' album. The song's basic theme is deviating from the norm, and at the end of the song, Geddy Lee (the lead singer) sings, 'Everybody got to elevate from the norm... over and over, but one ran dom time, he says 'Everybody got to EVELATE from the norm.'"
