We are The Even Tide, an established San Francisco Bay Area based quintet. We have mastered the bridge between the Progressive and Heavy Rock genres, which allow us to compose a wide range of powerful, original Rock music. The band consists of 5 best friends and veteran musicians: Morgan Mclean – Drums, Elliot Polokoff – Rhythm guitar, Jesse Mancillas – Lead Guitar, Kit Rairigh – Bass, and Andrew Deneef – Vocals.
We keep our band strategy simple – be heard. We understand the challenge of growing a band from nothing, and make it a top priority to grow our brand every day. We engage our fans on our social media sites, utilize internet radio stations, and most importantly, we make new fans face-to-face; the old fashioned way. You can find us, and our Bay-Area street team, standing outside just about every major concert event in the region, handing out free flyers and promotional demo CD’s by the thousands. We were selected to play a date on the Vans Warped Tour 2011 in Mountain View, CA not because of how many Likes we had on our website, but because of the quality of our music. It truly was a dream come true for all of us.
We have been active on the San Francisco Bay Area music scene for about a year now. During that time, we recorded and released our first EP, “Foundations In Sand” which was mixed by Grammy award winner Mike Sapone (Brand New, Taking Back Sunday). Our music video for the self-titled track “Foundations In Sand” received a huge response as well.
We pride ourselves in being an extremely hands-on, mature band. With all of us in our mid-twenties or older, and some of us having previous record label experience, we understand what it takes to be a successful band in today’s scene. We thoroughly research every marketing and band business venture before making a decision. We have taken the time and extra efforts to ensure we have built a solid, dedicated fan base in California. Above all, we have realistic expectations of what it takes to be a full-time touring act in today’s music industry
We are now preparing for the release of our full length record entitled “Inevitable Collapse”, due Fall 2011. Our newest single, “Invisible Monster”, and the corresponding music video are out now! We are investing in and executing multiple marketing campaigns for this upcoming release. Expect to see The Even Tide in mainstream magazines such as AP and AMP magazines, as well as on the front page of Purevolume.com. We are very optimistic about our future as a band together and are gearing up to tour full-time. Stay tuned and keep a lookout for The Even Tide in 2011.
