Ever since working up a rocking version of Badfinger’s “No Matter What” in their early mid-‘90s days playing the pubs around Fitzroy and St Kilda, Even have usually had a cover or two on the go. And they weren’t adverse to working up a load of them; they did Even Jukebox performances every year at Melbourne’s illustrious Cherry Bar for a while where it was all covers and themes, like an ‘Even Stevens’ night where all the songs were written and or performed by a Stephen, Steve or Stevie, and Ziggy Stardust from start to finish for the album’s 40th birthday.
Before Down The Shops is released in January, Even undertook a somewhat limited (and fully seated) version of their annual Christmas shows at Richmond’s Corner Hotel with two shows a night on Monday December 21st and Wednesday December 23rd.
