There is more than one artist with this name: 1) Established in 2004, the Eighth is a fusion of art and music unique to the Twin Cities area of Minnesota. Relating the contemporary modernity of electronic sound with the classic drama and power of driven, emotional, and occasionally scathing and intensely human lyrics and instruments, The Eighth is a force not to be questioned. It is music designed for the thinkers and dreamers of this generation, combining some of the greatest musical and artistic minds of the area to create intelligent, remarkable, and undeniably strong sound and performance- together. Headed by Shawn L Phillips, whose "no holds barred" approach to creation has brought out the best in his group of producers and live performers, a large team assembled from the best of the best available. The Eighth brings its listeners more than just music or a live performance, but also something which they can relate to and think about, something that will broaden their view of the world, and, in essence, themselves. 2) The Eighth is a NJ based band consisting of four very different teenagers. While still in high school, these kids treat their band like their career. The Eighth is not only young in age ( Alicia Kaustic 16, Billy J 17, Dean O 15, and Just Val 17), the band is also young, with only 9 months in the making. During their short time as a band, The Eighth has opened for nationally touring bands such as Kill Hannah, The Pink Spiders, Love Arcade, and Action Reaction. 3) The Eighth - is a one-man band project from Moscow, founded in 2011.
