Hello Eden @ R & R, NYC

[SOUND]

December 29, 2006

I always have a tough time coming up with descriptions for bands that I like. I struggle to come up with some piece of poetry that will showcase a band's luster. Not mention showing off my flowerey ways. I try desperately to steer clear of comparisons but then a band like Hello Eden comes along and does it for me.

Here I was at R & R (416 W 14th St, NYC) waiting for them to go on and it happened. They opened their set with Led Zeppelin's 'Rock N Roll' before blasting thru some really choice originals. Then, at the end they hit us with Tool's 'Sober'.

What perfect bookmarks I thought. Whether or not it was intentional, they clearly defined their grasp on the blues-rock and prog-metal sounds. And the in between was a perfect blend of the two.

Then the poetry came to me as I sipped on my cocktail after the set. It reads as such: Like a loaded gun pointed at your face, don't flinch when they pull the trigger. Just let the sound blow your face off. OK, It's not Yeats, but it works.
