I can quite honestly say that EE is the most exciting band that I have seen in months. Not a lot of bands can incorporate costumes, audience interaction, eastern chants, afro-beat and marching band style percussion with such ease. It was a real pleasure. I’ll be seeing ya’ll around Chicago.
We should play a show!
