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 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 is the second time I've seen EODM and both times they were amaaazing! They are so fun!!! There's a good chance I will see them every single time they come to the area. It's just a bummer you can't leave the House of Blues and come back in. No re-entry gets my thumbs down.
Always love to see these guys. Jesse's voice was definitely hurting (couldn't get to the higher register/falsetto stuff) but they always bring the fun and energy! Great set, crowd was digging them, definitely check them out..
If you like rock and roll music there is no reason why you shouldn't see Eagles of Death Metal immediately.
EODM was off the hook and is in my top 5 of all time ass kicking rock shows!
Jessie did his job. Sassy and rockin' the entire time. Will never miss a show with these guys.
I've seen Eagles of Death Metal probably 6 or 7 times and they always have an amazing show. Jesse and the guys always deliver, i have never seen EODM have a bad moment. If you and your friends want to go to a concert where you will be guaranteed to have a rock n roll filled evening you will never forget, go to an Eagles of Death Metal concert because they will provide the perfect sound track to an unforgettable night!!!!
Eagles of Death Metal is a pure fun rock show that will make you move like you are a dancing machine. The lead singer, Jesse Hughes is so charismatic and sexy. I love the way he sings and dances when he's playing the guitar. Dave Catching the lead guitarist is AMAZING! Actually all the musicians in the band are outrageous. If you are lucky enough to get to see Josh Homme play the drums with them it will be one heavenly night to remember. Although, he did not play with them for this show. Don't miss your chance to see them as it is always a guaranteed good time.
I knew nothing about this band but went along for the ride. I frankly was impressed and awestruck by the refreshing and entertaining nature of this gig. It's hard to describe all I know I had a big silly grin on my face the whole night.
This was an amazing show! Great stage presence and just rock. The desert sessions family has yet to disappoint.
Amazing, energetic performance. As per usual EODM got the crowd moving. This was best performance I've seen from them. The Glass House was an ideal venue to house them. Great vibe from the crowd coupled with great house sound= a memorable experience!
Can't go wrong with these guys! Loved it! They always Rock the house no matter where they are! 5 Stars all the way!
This was my third EODM concert, and I know there will definitely be many more to come!!!
i drove 24 hours in a 48 hr period to make it to this show and it was worth every minute. thank you!!
