About East Old Topside[New recordings coming soon!]
East Old Topside is a Knoxville-based band of four boys with nothing more than the instruments they possess, the desire to create meaningful music, and to make some great memories along the way. Beginning in late 2007, with original members Chase Sterling, Joel Hollingsworth, Michael Livingston, the experimental band felt like there could be more talent put to use with additional members. The band found a completely original vocal style in singer David "Cheeto" Smith than in any other candidate. The four members grew tighter and wrote several songs that would never be possible before. Yet, although the music was coming almost nonstop, the band felt as if there was still something missing; thus Ian van den Broek was added to the band in early 2008 to provide the low end tones found in EOT's songs. At the beginning EOT made a name for themselves almost overnight. Playing many shows at local venues in the Maryville-Knoxville area, EOT provided a new and completely different sound for local music and fans to enjoy.
The summer of 2008 bought much opportunity for band growth. With the opportunity to record a 3 track EP, East Old Topside was able to spread their music to more fans across a farther spectrum. Apart from recording, EOT played several shows in East Tennessee, including venues such as Coffee'z, Embassy, University of Tennessee's Battle of the Bands, Big Mama's Battle of the Bands, as well as many small local spots. Throughout the summer the band grew tighter and closer than ever before, gaining a sense of understanding for each other's style of play, not to mention longlasting friendships. By the end of the summer, life picked back up outside the band, making practices and booking difficult. With four of the members going off to college, one of these going to college away from Knoxville, and one remaining in highschool for his last year, the dream of creating music together as EOT dwindled. EOT has discussed coming back and playing as many shows as possible this summer. Until proven otherwise EOT seems as if it will be only a seasonal project. We will still be writing new and playing new music in the future. Thanks for sticking with us, for without our fans we are nothing; we love you all!
East Old Topside made a comeback in December 2008 with a new lineup consisting of original Joel Hollingsworth and Michael Livingston still on guitars, as well as now taking up vocals, Josh Meyers on bass guitar, Brandon McBath on drums, along with Chase Sterling drums and taking up powerful screams. EOT played their first show back out at Embassy in April 2009 and continue to look for shows to play. IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN PLAYING OR BOOKING EAST OLD TOPSIDE JUST MESSAGE THE MYSPACE OR CONTACT ANY BAND MEMBER. We are working on getting some rough recordings down to demo our new sound, so stay tuned! Thanks for the support and God bless!
