EVIL EDDIE
Biography

Hailing from what rural Queenslanders commonly refer to as ‘The Big Smoke’, Brisbane born Evil Eddie looks set to become the next big winner on the cult variety show “Bundamba’s Got Talent”. Having served as front man for the three time ARIA award nominated Hip Hop/Punk outfit Butterfingers for the last nine years, Evil Eddie is now a 'solo man' for the first time under his own moniker, while the rest of the Butterfingers team tend to the communally owned truffle farm. With an APRA award for Most Performed Urban Work already to his credit, “Evil” (as he is affectionately known by his ex-girlfriends) shows no signs of straying from his roots (figuratively speaking) and further hones the Hip Hop/Punk blend that riff raff around the world have come to know and moderately like.

On his highly anticipated debut album tentatively title “Welcome To Flavour Country”, Eddie will follow in the footsteps of artists such as Prince, Dave Grohl and that homeless guy in the Valley Mall, by recording all of the instrumentation entirely by himself. The first single off the album, a little diddy about his home-state aptly titled “Queensland”, has already seen critics and friends alike shocked and appalled at the lyrical content and generally brazen attitude that comes with Evil’s rock star-style delusions of grandeur.

Released on his own label Bewilderbeats and distributed through MGM, “Queensland” is doused in Eddie’s trademark impious lyrical style which somehow, managed not to hinder it's placing #86 in national Australia youth radio network Triple J's esteemed Hottest 100 competition for 2010. The video for “Queensland” (directed by Dave Barker) has already reached over 100,000 hits on YouTube and shows no signs of slowing.
