Evening

All Music Guide:

Nouveau indie rockers the Evening first formed in San Francisco in the late '90s as a project of guitarists Lee Burik and Patrik Sklenar. Both were avant jazz aficionados who freely mixed their training into a shimmery, messy ball of prog, punk, and noise experimentation. Filled out by vocalist Matt Rist, drummer Brian Kim, and bassist Zach Brewer (everyone chipped in on synths, samples, and organ), the Evening issued an introductory EP before grabbing the attention of longtime local indie Lookout, which issued the Other Victorians LP in February 2004. Upon its release, the band enjoyed comparisons to such arty types at Interpol and Blonde Redhead.

Evening in its primary meaning is the period between the end of daylight with sunset and the beginning of night. Though the term is subjective, evening is typically understood to begin before sunset and extend until nightfall, the beginning of night. Evening thus spans the period of twilight, but begins before it and depending on definition may extend past its end.

Companies often use the time of 5 pm to mark the beginning of the evening, for example with evening telephone call rates.

Informally, the term "evening" is used in place of "night", especially in the context of an event which takes place over the course of said "evening".

In the vernacular of at least parts of the rural American South (notably Appalachia) and in some British dialects, "evening" ( /ˈiːɪ/) is used to mean "afternoon," as the main meal of the day, dinner, traditionally has occurred at midday. While the exact meaning of the word in this sense is subject to interpretation, "evening" in the rural American South usually has been thought of as beginning at about noon and extending roughly until sunset or suppertime.
