With the release of the musical mayhem “Adventures in Eville,” powerpop trio Eleventyseven is set to make their mark on 2009. Their Sony/BMG Japan and Independent digital release continues with an element of ridiculous while retaining the ability to create a personal connection with their listeners. The trio of high school friends plan to connect worldwide as they travel overseas this fall to Japan.
Released digitally June 30th, “Adventures in Eville” is nothing atypical of what Eleventyseven’s fans have come to know. The songs range from fictional fun songs that include cyborg robot squirrels and a sidekick dog named Grover Cleveland to the real-life topics of human relationships.
“This record was written to remind people of how fun life can be if we just live it,” shares lead vocalist Matt Langston. “Sometimes we need songs that just let us breathe and enjoy life.”
Amongst the fun enjoyable songs, the band also sends out a positive message with their current radio single, “Trying,” which portrays the band’s desire to continue this path they’ve been on, to wake up everyday, enjoy what they do and go for it. Here are what a few program directors are raving about with this newest single:
“‘Trying’ is doing great with us! From day one we have been getting calls and it is one of our most requested and best testing songs!”
-- Jeff Howe, YES FM Program Director
“Eleventyseven is back with a Spectacular New Single, "Trying"...We Premiered on the Weekend show, and the phones went Crazy!”
--Cale Nelson, The Z nation Music Director
Following tour dates across the country this summer, Eleventyseven will jet to Japan for a fall tour, where they have had a huge response and sales success with the past two releases. The band will also debut the music video for “Evil Genius” on July 7th.

These donations are being called the "Save the Unicorns Foundation." Help if you can as Eleventyseven trys to bring light to a dark place.
Pop punk band eleventyseven is set to release its debut music video “MySpace” to video outlets nationwide on June 1st.
The video includes a massive improvised food fight shot with students at Glendale High School in Tulsa, Okla. Filmed by Steelehouse Productions, the “MySpace” video storyline mimics its lyrical message about embracing individualism and being honest about who you really are:
"When was the last time you were honest / Instead of posting blogs of fake emotions / When you finally resurface to the point of finding purpose / We’ll begin to see just who you are" Frontman Matt Langston elaborates, “Hopefully it just gets kids thinking about the fact that there is more to life than conforming to a profile you create to feel accepted. You can’t live life only showing people what you want them to see."
As for the food fight, it was shot over two days and involved more than 100 students armed with cafeteria not-so-favorites. Director Sam Stanton comments on the video’s technical challenges, “Filming a food fight isn’t what was tough, it was convincing everyone who had to clean up that it was a good idea to do it.”
To view the “MySpace” video, go online to: YouTube or Google.
eleventyseven’s first single, “More Than a Revolution,” has been a specialty radio favorite, and the group was featured this spring on Columbia Records artist Superchick’s national tour. The band’s national debut, And the Land of Fake Believe, released to retail outlets May 16.
