Eve's Plum

Eve's Plum was a rock band that originated in 1991. Michael Kotch and his twin brother Ben had been looking to start a band and needed a singer and bassist. After Colleen Fitzpatrick met Michael while both were in school at New York University, she eventually became the group's singer. The band went through several bass players.

The group was signed to Sony Records in 1992, and in 1993, their debut album, Envy, was released. Its first single (arguably its most popular) was "Blue", which had the good fortune to have its music video appear in an episode of Beavis and Butthead. Two additional singles were released from Envy, "Die Like Someone" and "I Want It All". After some difficulty locating the right bass player, Theo Mack joined the group. Another single, "Eye", appeared on the soundtrack to Higher Learning along with songs by OutKast, Tori Amos, Liz Phair, and Rage Against the Machine, among others.

The band's second album, Cherry Alive, was released in 1995. While developing the album, the band recorded a cover version of "If I Can't Have You" which found its way onto a compilation album, Spirit Of 73 Rock for Choice. Two singles were promoted from Cherry Alive, though not very well: "Wishing the Day Away" and "Jesus Loves You".

Not successful commercially, the band did not receive further support from their label and were subsequently dropped. They performed for some time thereafter, but this was the beginning of the end. They recorded "Save a Prayer" for a Duran Duran tribute album in 1998, but the band was not really viable. Its members moved on to other projects. Fitzpatrick has had some success with solo albums under the name Vitamin C.
