Members of the band ~EazyFour" are prepared to bring their act to this year's Spring Fling.

how to do their own recording.

Up-coming big events for the band include Saturday night at the Grape Street Pub in Manayunk, as well as a live recording at Fergie's Pub in June, which will be no cover to attend.

"The band started as a way to· make money," Reilly, founder of the band, said. "We were doing covers at dive bars that were paying pretty well. Now, we've been doing the origin program for two years and it's been phenomenal."

The original program consists of a couple songs from their first CD, but mostly more recent origin works. "We still continue to get better with time," Rei)ly said.

Eazy Four has learned over these. past two years a picture of music that they don't want. ""We really aren't looking for the whole rock star life," Reilly said. "We wouldn't enjoy it. We want to get to the point where we can provide the fruit to live but also not overexpose ourselves."

_ Inspiration for Eazy Four's music is found in all areas of life.

"Our songs come from definitely everything around us," Mc Cann said. "Love, friends, society and the world." The band currently has been strongly impacted by politics.

"We use our music to try and raise an awareness to social consciousness," Mc Cann said. One of Eazy Four's new songs, titled "Greed," focuses on "our capital- istic society, which is in. the pursuit of the dollar" rather than looking at the world without m0neytunnel vision. "[Society] could bea lot different if we just looked at things differently," Mc Cann said.

"We want to get people thinking about their environment and their role in it," Reilly said.

"Inspiration takes on a lot of different forms," Mc Cann said. Some musicians that have strongly affected the band have been Jeff Buckley and Ani Defranco.

"We just basically want our music to do the same thing that music has done for us," Reilly said. "We want to give the gift oack."

Eazy Four's goal is to create music, travel around and be able to bring their friends along. The band pleases the good music follower as it groves Rock and Roll, Jazz, Blues and Soul all into one. Eazy Four plans to become more diverse through its following by branching out to New York routinely and possibly down South. •

The band's website is kept very fresh and up to date-by Stolnis, the bass guitarist. The band's schedule, a message board, pictures, live MP3s to download and other news like the CD pick of the week can be found on the website.

The band encourages any interested to visit the site at www.eazyfour.com.
