I saw Evan play a fairly low key gig in Stockholm a few weeks back. He was 
in much better form that what I remember last time. The crowd were just fans 
and everyone who wanted to get right up front and then chat to him later 
did.

He'll be back in a month or so, it seems, to do a proper big gig. I'll 
defitinely go again, in fact, I'd like to do the support if I only knew his 
promoter and/or manager.

I like the new record too, a little more lo-fi if you compare it to the 
Atlantic Years, but always good songs.

Cheers,
Joe
