EYE OF THE DAWN

EYE OF THE DAWN

A four piece, original rock band from Brooklyn. Roman Midnight Music, an indie Manhattan music label that recently reviewed their debut album said “Eye Of The Dawn immediately hits your ear with their topically creative, visually interesting lyrics, laid against a bed of shifting rhythms & melodies that constantly bring musical surprises.“ Since their live performance debut this past January, they have packed the house at The Bowery Electric in Manhattan and The Trash Bar in Williamsburg.

And have also opened for EMI super stars The London Souls. Their version of Devo’s Whip It! has been included on Main Man Records latest release ‘We Are Not Men, We Are a Devo Tribute’ which features members of Monster Magnet and The New York Dolls. At this time the band has found MoPromo Mgmt Co.

Their goal is to be touring by the end of this year.

John Sullivan is the bands guitarist, singer/songwriter and driving force. He has shared the stage with such notables as Martin Chambers, Noel Reading, Bo Diddley, Fishbone and Albert King. The rest of the band features guitarist Craig Gottlieb, drummer Marcello Pantano, and bassist Andrei Sebastian. EYE OF THE DAWN’s debut album is available world wide on iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, and Napster. For further info on the band go to www.myspace.com/eyeofthedawn

Gar Francis backs up his bark

New Single Release:
Gar Francis backs up his bark with a promising bite with a new production of a single by The EASY OUTS “Come On, Come On” on Bongo Boy Records release date: June 22, 2010.

“Come On, Come On” is a collaboration between songwriter/guitarist of the legendary 60’s Garage rock band The Doughboys, engineer and owner of House of Vibes Kurt Reil (Kurt is also drummer/singer and songwriter for the Grip Weeds) and the Jersey Shore rock band The Easy Outs.

With Gar and Kurt behind the board and the powerful Easy Outs behind the glass they have come up with a rock & roll gem full of fun and punch.

Born with a classic Rock & Roll voice Bruce Ferguson soars above a masterful bass line by Gage Rowley, and drummer Bernie Branz keeps the snares a blasting straight through. Accompanied by the high warm vocal harmonies of the Grip Weeds this is what makes a garage song a classic.

It's not news to anyone that these guys rock.

"I Dig It" - The New Single Of The Easy Outs

The other day I got an e-mail asking me to review the new single by the band the Easy Outs.

At first I thought their PR person had made a mistake as people usually want me to review an album or EP. She reassured me that they indeed only wanted the single reviewed. Thus I can't really speak much about these guys as this is the one and only song of theirs I've heard...so far.

I dig it.

This is pure simple rock and roll. I love this stuff. This New Jersey band has something going on and that something is FUN. Basically, I dig his voice – a lot and the guitar player can wail. Add in a drummer who is spot on and a solid bass and you have a rock and roll classic.

The organ around the edges reminds me of 1950's rock or perhaps a 1980's parody of 50's rock in the style of the Dick the Bruiser Band. (Anyone out of Detroit will remember those guys.) When you add simple lyrics to the mix Come On Come On cut me loose baby Come On Come On you make a monkey crazy you have gold.

All I can say is thank God. I'm so sick and tired of that young sensitive deep thinking poet crap. ( Nic Stevens I'm talking to you.)

Bottom line: 4 scowls out of 5 on the Grouch scale. Would I go see these guys live? Yes I would!
