Graham Evans has passed along a pile of tapes from his pre-Huevos Rancheros days to help untangle the enigma that is Ev. Well, maybe not, but they're still a pretty fun listen. We'll start with the Jessies, which features human metronome Jay Kreway on drums, propelling this four-piece through a Thursday night set (at the Westward Club, we assume). Ev is playing bass on here, while Rob Bolio plays guitar and Simon Carr sings and plays another guitar. This has a lot more in common with Ninth Configuration than Huevos, more skatepark than garage.

We were trying to get our heads around the picture of the guy in the batman shirt - from what we understood, that should have been Ev. But, as with all stories, this one has a twist - Ev left the band at some point, and was replaced by none other than Irv Francis. We've also included a practice session - which includes a helpful tip on playing songs: faster is always better.
