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 blew 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".
“I came up with a great analogy for what the music is. It's bending George Clinton over a couch and butt-fucking him using Little Richard as the dick and the Rolling Stones and Chuck Berry as the balls” (Hughes).
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.”

This show was fantastic.Webster Hall is a great venue for this type of band.Jesse Hughes is funny,charasmatic,and all around good show man.The band is tight and completely on point.
i had a lot of fun at this show. eagles of death metal is always an entertaining band.
What a great venue and a great way for Eagles of Death Metal to end their tour. Ramshead Live in Baltimore is an intimate venue where you can smell the sweat of the performers up on stage no matter where you stand. And last night's show featured pleanty of sweat. Eagles of Death Metal blazed their way on stage and proceeded to prance and grunt and shake their money makers for a solid hour and a half for all they were worth. After a short intermission, they retook the stage and spent the next half hour to forty-five minutes blowing the doors off the place. They came to Baltimore to do one thing: Rock with a capital R. And they did just that. Peace. Love. Death Metal. What more needs to be said?
unbelieavable show, first band was NOT my style, tight but, mediocre. EODM came out and was amazing .... all i can say!
I loved this performance. The lead singer is true rocker. He kept the crowd going from start to finish. I can't wait to see them again.
WOOO this show was great the eagles of death metal RULE! Long live ROCK N ROOLLL!!
The Band was having a great time playing and the crowd was into them!! Fun show!!
EoDM rocked the house at Webster Hall; with illicit prescription meds as its fuel, EoDM's live music is tight. I would definitely see them again and try to get backstage passes to meet the devil himself.
Best frontman ever. Pure charm. Great songwriting. Just everything you'd want from a rock show!
What a show!!! These guys are all about having a ball with the music they play and the audience going insane as they spread out the energy through their performance. And they do it, they deliver the rock'n'roll as well as everything the crowd needs to feel entertained. Webster Hall is my favorite venue for these kind of concerts, the band is right there for you, the sound is good too. Again, what a great concert it was!
Bottom line, these guys are extremely talented musicians and they are amazing performers. Awesome awesome show.
he's that dirtbag friend of your older brother that every girl had a crush on when she was 10 years old. and it's good time rock and roll. no pretensions, just FUN along the lines of van halen pre-sammy. there were as many women in the audience as men.
As usual the Devil and his cohorts Darling Dave, the Sexy Mexy and Billy Big Hands put on a good time for all.
show was great.... eagles never dissapoint. gets the crowd going....all they want to do is have fun and they show it!! they interact with the fans... play kick ass songs...and rock!!
They put on a rockin show. 'Can you dig it'? Jesse is such a lover. He really knows how to engage the audience and make it a personal experience. In attendance were his mother, his son and Gibby Haynes, of the Butthole Surfers who Jesse claimed are his heroes. There was an on stage proposal during the encore. Over all, Big Fun!
Fantastic showmen. Just godd ol' rock n roll riffs that ended with "I really want you" which proceeded after a roadie (?) proposed to his GF on stage. She said yes. They brought the house down with an extended "Speaking in Tongues" that built to an amazing crescendo. Bravo!
One of the highest energy rock shows in a long time. Jesse was having the time of his life, and the music showed his enthusiasm! The show started like it was shot out of a cannon, and the pace never slowed. Fantastic!
The House of Blues was stunned last night as everyone in the audience was sentenced to "death by sexy" from Eagles of Death Metal after a solid opening by Rival Schools. If you are unfamiliar with Eagles of Death Metal, let me give you a little heads up to what is in store for you at a live show. Now, Eagles of Death Metal, by name alone, can be misleading. They aren't quite metal, death metal, or any one genre of music in particular. They are just pure rock n roll fueled by the charisma and "voodoo magic" of Jesse Hughes' onstage antics and lyrical style. The very presence of J Devil on the stage was enough to direct the attention of all eyes in the room upon him as he blew kisses to girls, took personal requests for songs from audience members, and played a flawless solo rendition of Taking Care of Business, which he "played a lot in Canada" but wanted "to claim the song, right here in Boston" (seeing as it was their first show back in the USA in a long time) during the "encore" which was more like Part 2 of the night since it went on for nearly another hour, but I'm getting ahead of myself. All crowd pleasers were played while Jesse, quite literally, pleased the crowd (and offered to please one woman in the audience by saying he would buy her a cherry cola then played the song of the same name). I don't need to list the songs they played because they played every single and hit they've had which EoDM fans know of without my list. I will review some highlights though. Miss Alissa seemed to spark new energy (if it was even really needed) in the crowd as more people began to dance and chant along with J Devil. A voluptuous woman nicknamed " Miss Coco Bubbles" came onstage for a duet rendition of Prissy Prancin'. Jesse managed to break guitar strings twice and never miss a step or lyric during the mishaps. "The Devil" never lost his cool even when, on four occasions, intoxicated people jumped onstage. Guitarist Dave Catching kept composure and his rock character when a beer was chucked at him mid-song. He appeared startled at first, picked up the beer, and proceeded to chug down what was left of it, throwing the can behind him afterward. This was not the only occasion where an item was thrown onstage. I heard, but did not witness, that J Devil picked up panties, that were sacrificed to him as a gift to "Boots Electric", and sniffed them. Other highlights include J Devil singing a certain profanity laden song, (see first album) then refusing to swear between songs due to his "momma" being at the show, (she was literally there up in the balcony area behind the stage) the amazing second half of the show which consisted of a flawless cover of Brown Sugar, and finally the extended version of Speaking In Tongues which had the beat dropped out of it for a long time before completely exploding at the end to which audience responded by jumping up in the air as if the floor was on fire. All this said, I hope I have given those with no background with this band a good gist of what to expect from such a high energy band. Two conclusions come to me from this show in the end; Eagles of Death Metal are the purest and most entertaining rock act out there right now and J Devil is quite possibly - no, scratch that - is MOST DEFINITELY the greatest frontman of our generation. Period.
what a fun band! very charismatic. they played all my favorite tunes plus some cool covers such as BTO's "takin' care of business" and the stones "brown sugar". got everyone rocking on a tuesday night. FUN!
If anyone has been to a show in a club in Boston, then you know how stubborn the crowds are. If a band can get even a head bobbing or a toe tapping, they are doing something right. How about when a band can get a crowd so fired up, that members of the audience begin running on stage and flashing the devil horns sign for rock and roll!! That is how the EofDM get it dun. With a lot of booze, tatoos and loud roaring guitars, this band rocked the House of Blues and brought even a Boston crowd to its feet and wanting more. Covers of the Rolling Stone's 'Brown Sugar' and BTO's "Taking Care of Business' as encore's only proved to the crowd that the EofDM can take rock and roll out of any era and bring it into the now!! Thanks for rocking us right boys!!
