Eve 6 is also the name of a
character in an episode of the
television show
The X-Files.
I have seen several
rumors that this is, in fact, where the
band got their name. According to
rumor, they are huge
X-Files fans, and used this
obscure character as the name of the
band.
In the episode, entitled "
Eve",
Mulder and
Scully encounter two homocidal little girls, who are actually
clones. They are the continuation of a
government eugenics project, in which eight men and women were
genetically engineered and
cloned. The men were named "
Adam", and the women were named "
Eve".
Eve 6 was one of three surviving
clones from the project. She was locked up in a
maximum security facility in a
padded cell.
When the
FBI agents meet her, she says she has to wear
handcuffs and other restraints because she bit a
prison gaurd's eyeball, "...as a show of affection."
Some inspiration for a band name, huh?
