HELLO EDEN OPENING FOR SCOTT WEILAND!!!
Here's a great little REVIEW of HELLO EDEN's latest show at R&R NYC by Stephen Bailey. You can find this and pictures of the show at www.Stephenbailey.com:
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. [set included: Matador, You're Okay, You Her and Me, Dear John, The Inside Device, My Sharpest Friend, & Bully] 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.
