I had the pleasure of seeing AdamandEvil perform recently and have their latest EP on heavy rotation in my dj sets and my living room. Having been a big fan of the seminal London band Whitey, the sound caught my ear and it wasn’t until several weeks after listening that I found out that AdamandEvil was indeed composed of Scott Fairbrother and Julian Shah-Tayler, former band members from Whitey.
After 3 years of touring the world with Whitey and co-writing tracks for the 2nd album (including ‘Wrap it Up’ which has been placed on (among others) The OC, House, RockStar video game, and Grand Theft Auto IV video game) they decided to go out on their own. AdamandEvil only play select gigs in Hollywood (Bardot on June 3rd) and have an upcomming unreleased EP with Danny Saber (Rolling Stones, David Bowie) on the ep.
The EP is rich and diverse, ranging from the beautiful and melodic track “Shooting Stars” to more upbeat and dancey tracks such as Freaks and the Weeds Daisy O/Dell Remix. Here is a taste from their upcoming EP. Get on it before the Silverlake hipsters claim AdamandEvil as their own…

Like you, Ive been following these guys since their Whitey days and I cant say how happy I am to have them close to home in Los Angeles. I saw them recently performing in Hollywood and I cannot say enough good things. Their live sound was incredible. Shooting Stars has become engraved in my mind permanently and Freaks never fails to get my feet moving. I cant wait to see what these guys will do next and I look forward to another show! I’m a freak for AdamandEvil
