ewan’s real name is ewan mark shemilt. up until recently, the other two were under the impression that his middle name was either sebastian or bernard. however, they were sadly mistaken. some people call ewan ‘u.b.’ steve and robbie find this very confusing, as there is no ‘u’ or ‘b’ in ewan’s full name.

ewan plays drums. He plays a 4-piece amber premier kit with zildjian cymbals. to hit these drums, he uses pro mark sticks. however, he is very diverse and will beat out a rhythm on just about anything. he particularly enjoys hitting empty ice cream tubs and biscuit tins with wooden spoons.

ewan wears glasses. sometimes while he is drumming, the lenses fall out and get lost on the floor of the rehearsal room. however, he always manages to find them and fix his eyewear. his glasses are currently held together with half a guitar string.

ewan is a known serial band adulterer, drumming for several bands as well as little amber. one of these bands is a ‘supergroup’ from his hometown of livingston. this is called ‘project mash’, and features members of the beautiful cowala and the now sadly defunct bastard squad.

other interests of the mighty shemilt include going to gigs with his brother, listening to music with his brother and going to record fairs with his brother. matty, the younger shemilt brother, is an avid fan of the band and frequently bootlegs little amber live shows. ewan also studies how to play drums at jewel and esk valley college.

ewan loves primus, led zeppelin, primus, lemonheads, primus, nirvana, primus, radiohead, primus, ben folds and primus. his musical idol would be a cross between john bonham, les claypole and dave grohl.
