Introduction to ELEVEN

Alright. Who the hell is this ELEVEN? Well. A great band that hasn't gotten any recognition. (Much like some of the Music Matinee pages that I put together because I couldn't find them anywhere on the web). And if you wanna check a REALLY rare band, there is my own music...SchizoPhobia which you can check out for your listening pleasure/pain. ;-) Buy this particular page is for ELEVEN. These three deserve their own page and here it is. I've looked high and low all over the web and couldn't find anything to support Eleven's music. So....I'm now underway with an Eleven site.

For those that have never heard of the band Eleven, I hope I can turn you onto some new music. They have been musically categorized in all kinds of different areas from Punk to Hard Rock to Blues but I just say LISTEN TO THEIR MUSIC and hear for yourself. In my opinion, they just fall under Hard Rock with some great vocals by singers Alain Johannes and Natasha Shneider(which is DAMN hard to find in this day and age). If any of the song titles of the albums below are underlined, you can listen to the song in Real Audio! Now let's get to the band members and albums shall we?!? :-)

Links to other Eleven sites of interest

Here is the most recent article I found thanks to a friend on the net.

This is a cool page that I found in the Soundgarden Tour of 1996 when Eleven was supporting the Thunk CD and went on tour with Soundgarden. Check out some background info on the Thunk album and musical influences of Eleven.

Check The All Music Guide's Eleven reference. This is about the only other place I could find that could give me any information on Eleven since the Hollywood Records site was no longer active.
