About

"In a sea of Humboldt jam-bands, and good old drinking music, with the occasional punk piece, Eustace is filling a niche in our scene." -Melody Stone: Times-Standard

Taking their name from a CS Lewis character, Eustace came together mid 2005 after playing under a different name for about 18 months. Having recorded an EP and LP during that time period and playing plenty of live shows in and out of Humboldt County, the band decided to move into somewhat different directions, both musically and lyrically. To facilitate this change in direction, the Roberts brothers began writing songs together and experimenting with arrangements with a small home studio setup. Drummer, William Startare brings a unique energy to the band thanks to his background in both jazz and rock drumming while guitarist Austin Roberts brings an atmospheric element to the bands sound thanks to his use of loops, keys, and effects. With Tristin's sense of melody and dynamic range and bassist Derek Chaney's sense of the groove, the band is able to craft songs that are exciting and original.
