We have a new mailing list, which we'll be running through Facebook - join it here. Sorry, we know it's Facebook, but it's easy and convenient... please forgive us. And at least if you sign up, you'll finally get some regular news about when and where we're playing!
Souvaris is a quintet performing "Erudite Instrumental Rock" (actual quote by an A&R man) since the tail end of 2000. Though a couple of dear friends have come and gone as members, there are most definitely no more or less than five of us. We started playing together in a barn in Knebworth; today we all reside in Nottingham. These places are in the United Kingdom. Our main center of operations and source for all things Souvarian can be found at http://souvaris.blogspot.com/.
Four tracks you can listen to here are from our second album "A Hat", which is available at half-decent record stores, or you can buy it and other stuff direct from us for cheap by visiting our website.
You can also buy MP3s from these people: Itunes Emusic Boomkat
We have toured Europe and the UK a few times and have had the pleasure of playing with some heroes, fantastic bands and met a load of wonderful people. Life is good.

Evangelista was the name of Carla Bozulich's 2006 album, and was thereafter used as a bandname. Carla's 2006 Constellation release was widely celebrated as her strongest, most fearless and compelling record in years, and ended up on many year end lists, including The Wire (UK), Blow Up (Italy) and WMFU (Brian Turner’s blog) to name a few. Carla toured Evangelista all over Europe and North America, with core bandmate Tara Barnes at her side, and a rotating cast of other musicians, including Shahzad Ismaily and members of A Silver Mt. Zion (all of whom contributed to the original recording as well).
SEVEN has some pretty good stuff coming up over the next couple of weeks with the best of up-and-coming talent both locally and nationally. Take a gander below- something might just take your fancy...
Feel free to drop us a comment or a message... it's what we live for, innit.
OUT NOW on Idiosyncratics Records : Phil Maggi - Blue Fields in Paramount CD
..Blue Fields in Paramount is a very personal and fascinating opus, a beautiful introduction to the style of this talented artist, that could be qualified as 'dark psychedelia for daydream believers'. It has been mastered by James Plotkin (Khlyst, Khanate, Old, Phantom) and is out now as a stricly limited to 300 copies ekopack edition with a fantastic artwork by czech artist Jan Karpisek...
We are playing at The Nursery Tavern, Coventry on 25th June with Wes Finch & The Dirty Band and Scattered Sons (featuring members of The Treehorns and Shackletons)
