Eve Alacu spent her childhood in the thriving city of Fayetteville, Arkansas. It was there that she joined here first band, taking a vocalist position, in 1995. “The name of the band was Triple X,” she stated. “Rather ironic seeing as how we played at a Youth For Christ Event. We played cover tunes ranging from Alanis Moorieset’s ‘Hand In My Pocket’ and Jimmy Hendrix’s version of ‘The Star Spangled Banner’. We had really fun shows and I think that spawned my real craving to have a good band in my future.”
In 1997 she joined the band Zeightguist. It was in this band that she wrote the song “Dear Mother” which would eventually become an Asy9 track. Unfortunately, Zeightguist was doomed to a very short existence. Now Eve had to find a different outlet for her musical desires. Realizing she wasn’t getting very far with the bands she had worked with she set out to establish a solo career. In the year 2000 she went to work on the “Fury” CD. It was during this time that she created the name for her current project – Asy9. “I didn’t want to stick with general alternative on ‘Fury’. I had originally planned ‘Fury’ to be a 3 CD set because I had so much material I had wanted to work on, but ended up getting cut off short due to the ‘Drunk On Dreams Of Shadows and Darkness’ CD. So, in the end, ‘Fury’ was just one CD of hardcore electronica and dance instrumentals.”
She teamed up with producer Brian Copeland at Aromatone Productions in Tulsa, Oklahoma to work on a new track she titled “Hypoxtian”. “I swore to myself during the making of ‘Hypoxtian’ that I wasn’t going to work on anymore music for quite some time. I was really frustrated with myself, simply because I couldn’t catch onto the feel of working inside of a recording studio very well. I wasn’t doing my best, but at the same time, I knew I couldn’t help it.”
After finishing “Hypoxtian” Brian posted it to the Soundclick.com website and the song rocketed to number fourteen in the industrial/electronica charts where it stayed for thirteen weeks. After seeing how well the song did on the website, and being prodded by Brian and her best friend, she went on to do a full album. In the end “Drunk On Dreams Of Shadows and Darkness” was the result. “Because people pushed me and told me I could do it. Because people helped me out along the way and taught me things. Because of everyone’s support, I was able to piece together an album that I am truly happy with. I hope everyone else will like it as well.”
