  • Eleven is an indie rock band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 1990 by Alain Johannes (vocals, guitar, sitar, horns), Natasha Shneider (vocals, keyboards, bass), and Jack Irons (drums). Eleven's early history is intertwined with that of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. As teenagers Irons and Johannes formed the band Anthym with Michael Balzary (Flea) and Hillel Slovak; this band was soon to be renamed What Is This?. The members of What Is This? then joined with Anthony Kiedis to form the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but Slovak and Irons also continued to record with Johannes, and What Is This? released the EP Squeezed with Chris Hutchinson playing bass. After the recording of the self-titled second What Is This? album, Slovak and Irons discontinued the band to concentrate full time on the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Schneider and Johannes met and formed the duo Walk The Moon, which featured Jack Irons and Chris Hutchinson on several tracks. When Irons later left The Red Hot Chili Peppers he teamed up with his former bandmate Johannes and his new partner to form Eleven. Midway through the recording of Eleven's third album, Thunk, Irons departed again to drum with Pearl Jam, and Matt Cameron played drums on the album's remaining four tracks. Irons was replaced by Greg Upchurch for their fourth album, Avantegardedog, but returned to the band once again prior to the recording of their fifth album, Howling Book. Ric Markmann played bass for Eleven on stage, though he did not feature on any of their albums. Eleven have toured with Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Queens of the Stone Age and Candlebox, and Johannes and Schneider have also become a sought-after production team working on albums such as Chris Cornell's Euphoria Morning (on which they also wrote, performed and toured), No Doubt's Return of Saturn, Steadman's Revive, and The Desert Sessions 7&8 and 9&10 with Josh Homme. Most of the recording takes place at 11AD, their home studio - Howling Book was self-produced, recorded and mixed in its entirety at 11AD. The band cites their major influences as Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin, Queen, The Beatles, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Sergei Prokofiev. With Chris Cornell, they recorded Shneider's arrangement of Franz Schubert's "Ave Maria", which appears on the album, A Very Special Christmas 3, in the liner notes of which they state they deliberately chose a classical work to help interest young people in classical music. They most recently contributed the theme from the film Catwoman. The track was composed by Johannes and Shneider with Shneider credited as the performer rather than the band. On July 2, 2008 Natasha Shneider died following a battle with cancer. The news broke with a message posted on the MySpace page of the band Sweethead, of which Natasha's former band-mate Troy Van Leeuwen is a member and was a close personal friend: Another tribute message later replaced the main page at the official website of Queens of the Stone Age. According to Eleven's July 11, 2007 MySpace blog, they were working on a sixth album that they planned to have released by the fall. No release date has been announced and it is unclear how much, if any, of a new album was completed.
  • Eleven es una banda de indie rock originaria de Los Ángeles, California, formada en 1990 por el vocalista y guitarrista Alain Johannes, la bajista, teclista y vocalista Natasha Shneider y el batería Jack Irons. La historia temprana de Eleven está ligada a la de los Red Hot Chili Peppers. De adolescentes, Irons y Johannes formaron una banda llamada Anthym con Flea y Hillel Slovak, ambos posteriores miembros de los Red Hot Chili Peppers, como Irons. Este grupo acabó renombrándose como What Is This?, cuyos miembros se unieros a Anthony Kiedis para formar Red Hot Chili Peppers, aunque Irons y Slovak siguieron grabando con Johannes, quien no se había unido a la banda de Kiedis. Así, What Is This? editó un EP titulado Squeezed con el bajista Chris Hutchinson. Después de grabar el álbum homónimo de la banda, Slovak y Irons dejaron de trabajar con Johannes para concentrarse mejor en la actividad de los Red Hot. Después de disolver What Is This?, Johannes conoció a Natasha Shneider y formaron el dúo Walk the Moon, que ocasionalmente invitaba a Irons y Hutchinson en sus conciertos. La muerte de Hillel Slovak de sobredosis de heroína en 1988 hizo que Irons dejase los Red Hot Chili Peppers, y se unió a Johannes y Shneider para formar Eleven. Después de grabar tres álbumes con la banda, Irons dejó su puesto para tocar con Pearl Jam, por lo que le sustituyó Matt Cameron, que grabó las canciones restantes de Thunk, el tercer álbum de Eleven. Para la grabación del cuarto álbum, Greg Upchurch tomó el papel de batería, pero abanonó éste cuando Irons regresó para componer y grabar Howling Book, quinta entrega de la discografía de Eleven. La banda ha dado conciertos con bandas como Queens of the Stone Age, Pearl Jam o Soundgarden, mientras que Shneider y Johannes han producido álbumes de Chris Cornell, No Doubt, Steadman o The Desert Sessions. Eleven cita como influencias a Jimmy Page y Led Zeppelin, los Beatles, Johann Sebastian Bach o Sergéi Prokófiev.
