Colleen Fitzpatrick Biography

Colleen Fitzpatrick Biography In 1991, Colleen was studying at NYU. She happened to share a class with Michael Kotch. “He knew who I was, but I didn’t know him. I sat two rows in front of him. He cheated off me”. Several months later, Michael and his twin brother, Ben, put an ad in the Village Voice in search of a female vocalist and a bass player for their band. Michael was a bit put out when Colleen showed up at the audition, “He didn’t like me” she says, “but, Ben, he liked me”. So, she was in the band. She became not only the singer, but also the main lyricist. They decided to call themselves Eve’s Plum… maybe after the Brady Bunch actress, Eve Plum! After ages of searching, they found a bass player, Christopher Giammalvo. They started writing material, and toured the East Coast of America for a year. They then got a recording contract with Sony Records. In 1993, the band released their first single, Blue. Blue appeared on an episode of Beavis and Butthead, and although it was mocked by the stupid tv show :-P it opened Eve’s Plum up to a lot of people. They then released their debut [and very excellent!] album, Envy. At this point Christopher left the band. The band went on tour with Eleven, to support the release of the album. They went on touring America. They then released two singles from Envy [though not at the same time, obviously], I Want It All and Die Like Someone. I Want It All went into heavy rotation on a lot of radio stations. All the singles had videos, that were shown on MTV. [yes, back then MTV played music that people wanted, not what record company bosses wanted L]. ENTER HERE
