EVA a.k.a. Moonpie
Eva was born the runt of the litter of 6 dogs. Adopted at a flea market in Charleston, South Carolina in 2003 she didn't take long to start checking out record stores then punk shows. She moved out of her parents house at the age of 1 and settled down with some punks in a meth filled, trailer park under some powerlines. Some say the combination of loud music, toxic drug clouds, beer, and close vicinity of electric currents are responsible for her anti-authoritarian attitude. Those that know her best though, know that she was born a rebel without a paws.
Shortly after getting off probation and quitting her band The Shit Mackerz, Eva packed her keytar, 6 foot bong, and human punx and moved north to Asheville, NC. It was here in the mountains that this swamp pup spent the rest of her life. The first music project she joined was Roll In It!, followed up by singing for Back Wag, drumming in the Rabones. She spent a short time playing accordion in This Shoe is a Chew Toy! then started her first Asheville band, Living Colour Blind. Despite having lupus and a lack of thumbs, she had a hefty release of tapes and 7 inches that her parents never listened too.
With all her bands she need merch for tour and was tired of buying sub-par products from other people so she tried her hand at making her own sub-par merch. After years of trial and error she got good at it and decided to make the world look cool with patches and pins.
Eva was hit by a car and killed. She died with her boots on and now is buried by the tracks in her vest to rest in punk for ever.
RIP EVA 2003-2015
