10 February 2016 - 0 Comments
The
best night of rock n roll for your 2016 is kindly announced...... courtesy of your party starters supreme and
ministers of all musical mayhem Eagles Of Death
Metal. The divine sound of live rock and roll made as God intended.
Balls-out, ass-shakin’, soul scratchin’, boot scootin’, neck lickin’,
freewheeling just-for-the-hell-of-it raw, sleazy, dirty, sexy, groovy, good
time, joyful, smile on your face pure unadulterated, psychedelic, blues and
Rock. And. Glorious. Roll.
Eagles Of Death
Metal was formed in 1998 in Palm Desert, California by best
friends Jesse Hughes and Joshua Homme
(who also founded Queens Of The Stone Age).
EODM have just released their fourth album Zipper Down, their first new studio
release since 2008.
This will be EODM’s
first NZ headline show since they tore the roof off the St
James in 2007.
“…. genius, hilarious
and brilliant. Such words don't even begin to describe Jesse 'Devil' Hughes and
the Eagles of Death Metal, but they're about as close as one can come, when
left reeling from a night of outrageous rock 'n' roll magic.”
(New Zealand Herald)
Despite their band name, EODM
(Eagles Of Death Metal) is not a death metal band. The story
goes that a friend was introducing Joshua
Homme to the death metal genre, and Homme wondered what a cross
between the Eagles and a death metal band would sound like. With that EODM was born and
has never looked back, flying ever upwards and hell bent on good times. The
band released Peace Love
Death Metal in 2004, followed by Death
By Sexy in 2006, and Heart
On in 2008.
EODM are known and loved by fans for simultaneously owning and mocking the overtly
stylised image of Rockstars, all the while (Homme) describes their sound as a
combination of "bluegrass slide guitar mixed with stripper drum beats
and Canned Heat vocals".
Joining front man and guitarist Jesse
Hughes on the road on guitars is Eden Galindo and Dave Catching,
Matt McJunkins on bass and Julian Dorio on drums.
More hook laden than your old job at the bait shop and with a stage presence
akin to sexual dynamite Eagles
of Death Metal are an eargasm of glorious groove. A fivesome of
parallel universe Rock n Roll Superstars.
“The new album Zipper
Down really represents to me an attitude and philosophy of life,” says Hughes. “One should
not zipper up, they should zipper down and let it all hang out.”
Eagles Of Death Metal at The Powerstation……. gettin loose, real loose on March 22nd.
