Sexy Ester is a musical group out of Madison, Wisconsin, consisting of Lyndsay Evans (lead vocals), Adam Eder (guitar), Roscoe Evans (keyboard), Paul Kennedy (drums), and Brad Schubert (bass guitar) and winner of several Madison Area Music Awards. Formation The earliest roots of the band go back to 2002 when Lyndsay Evans, Adam Eder, Ken Hale, and Travis Smith formed a group known as Nefarious Star and the Wyrms. This band contained members of the defunct band Vampyres Sleep in the Shade (formerly Nimbus) along with powerhouse vocalist Lyndsay Evans. The early music was inspired by the classic rock sounds of bands like Led Zeppelin and Janis Joplin. In 2003 the group would move from the small town of Warren, Illinois leaving behind Smith. Establishment in Madison 2003–2010 The band continued to change once in Madison forming the first version of Sexy Ester with Lyndsay Evans (vocals), Adam Eder (guitar), Ken Hale (drums), and Phil Fendley (bass guitar), however for the first month the band was known as Sexy Kaufman. Hale and Fendley soon departed leaving Evans and Eder performing as an acoustic duo. Later Hale briefly returned as rhythm guitarist with Adam Hart playing drums, but this formation would be short lived with Evans and Eder returning to an acoustic duo. In late 2006 with an album's worth of songs the band reached out to former Vampyres Sleep in the Shade drummer Dusty Hay. At this time they performed around the Madison area with harmonica player Mike Adams as a regular fixture in the group. In the Spring of 2008 Evans, Eder, and Hay headed to Megatone Studios to record their first full-length album Get Your Love On with Paul Schluter as producer/engineer and former member Ken Hale as executive producer. Adam Eder performed both the guitar and bass parts for the album. Shortly after the record was released the band brought in Brad Schubert to cover the duties on bass guitar. In January 2009 Roscoe Evans made his debut with the band and the band's sound immediately shifted towards a new wave or dance-punk sound. The band headed back to the studio to lay down two more songs Tell Me You Do and Who Needs Loves Anyway?. The songs would be released on a two-song single CD, and the band would spend 2009 performing a number of well received shows in the Upper Midwest, and be nominated by
