Everything Is Energy

 "Everything Is Energy is a band that is born of a man that has been through hell. Which is odd, because they sound like the ocean, flecked with gold dust straight from the angels’ afros."

Everything Is Energy is a band by Chris Shinn, as it says on the cover of their self-titled debut album.  The same Chris Shinn who fronted the "supergroup" Unified Theory, which consisted of members of Blind Melon and Pearl Jam.  Unified Theory were a great band, but when the Everything Is Energy album was released digitally in 2007 I was blown away and it has been in constant rotation in my collection ever since.

Despite touring the album in 2007, the band ran into problems with dodgy management, which has since left their website and MySpace defunct for well over a year.  Thankfully Chris can still be found on Facebook, where he has been hinting of new material coming soon, posting today "Finished ruff demos of two BRAND new tunes. Wow, deadlines DO work. I'm back in Nashville to track with the whole band This weekend".

Here's a picture Chris posted on his Facebook page recently, I would love to have a jukebox with the Everything Is Energy album on it in my town, hell I'd love to actually own a physical copy of the album.  It looks like it must have had a limited release at some point, but I can't find one anywhere.

At some point last year, the band posted a very open statement regarding the state of the band, talking of the management problems they've experienced, which has resulted in them no longer being able to use the name Everything Is Energy, so the new tunes will be released under a new name, but as far as I'm aware, the same personnel.

There's not any official music videos for the band, but I did manage to find this pretty decent live video of 'Real Easy', hopefully we'll be hearing some new tunes from the band soon.
