Epilogue (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Epilogue was an early 1990s progressive rock band from Stoke-on-Trent. They released Just Killing Time, a cassette album, on their own label and the album Hide on Cyclops Records in 1994.

[edit] Members

Gareth Evans - Guitar
Scott Evans - Bass Guitar
Chris Frost - Keyboards
Shaun Lowe - Vocals/Drums

A later line-up of the band featured Dave Lythgoe on bass guitar and Craig Hine on Drums, with Shaun Lowe switching to guitar/vocals. This line up played numerous gigs supporting the likes of IQ (band) in Rotherham, The Enid and Grace at The Wheatsheaf in Stoke, Jump at The Half Moon in Putney, London, and some legendary and memorable headliners at The Limelight in Crewe and The Wheatsheaf in Stoke-on-Trent and also their Pink Floyd Earls Court and Genesis stadium appearances (although this was as members of the audience and not necessarily at the same shows).

Contrary to some recent rumours, the Frost/Hine/Lowe/Lythgoe line-up are not planning to reform - be it in the studio, on stage, or in the Curry House - at this moment in time. But never say never...especially to the Curry House.

An Epilogue super-group reunion - with the final line-up plus Gareth and Scott Evans (no relation) joining forces to play a one-off outdoor show 'In The Round' (some suggested venues have included beneath the Festival Park flyover and on the roundabout at the top of Lichfield Street in Hanley) - remains a constant rumour. Apart from the constant part. And also the rumour.^{[citation needed]}

When asked about this, no band members were available for commment. Or a curry.

Fortunately the rumours of drummer Shaun Lowe's demise were quashed at an Epilogue press conference in Stoke-on-Trent on 2nd April 2006.^{[citation needed]}

It is also rumoured that plans for a remastered album of Epilogue A-sides has been shelved. An official statement on the band's own teletext page declared that this is due to the proposed record's length falling frustratingly short of the minimum album length as set down by the British Chart's governing body, BCGB. Indeed, it has been speculated that the length of such a 'best of' release would most likely fall short of the minimum length for a single.

Or something like that.^{[citation needed]}
