Evil Beaver was founded in 1999 in Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood by band leader Evie Evil. Evie is the sole songwriter for the band and featured on electric lead bass guitar and vocals, Samuel Golf (Slammin' Sammy Kickass), plays drums. Evie and Sammy began their friendship in the 3rd grade as classmates and playmates at Sieden Prairie Elementary School near Chicago, IL.[1]

The group's debut, Smells Like Christmas Spirit was released in December 1999. Followed by a split LP with The Traitors in 2001, Evil Beaver released their debut LP, Lick It! on Four Alarm Records. Since then, three full-length records have been released: Pleased to Eat You (2003), In The Spirit of Resilient Optimism (2007), and Live in the Studio (2014). In 2006 the band released an EP titled Models of Virtue featuring drummer Gene TrautmannofQueens of the Stone Age and Eagles of Death Metal.
