Osheaga 2009 Showcases La Roux, New Wavers

in
By Erik Leijon (CHARTattack) August 4, 2009 2:32 pm
It's a combination of the long lineups, the omnipresent enclosures, rigid schedules and overpriced wares, but nothing awakens my animalistic tendencies quite  like Osheaga, Montreal's massive weekend musical bash. It's not really a "music and arts festival" because a festival would imply there's some sort of cultural celebration...

Glastonbury 2009 Diary: Part 2

By Jonathan Dekel (CHARTattack) July 2, 2009 2:45 pm
Hospitality Campgrounds Pilton, England Glastonbury Festival 10:30 a.m. I awake in a bath of warm sweat. It seems in my hurry to buy an economy tent the previous day I'd forgotten to get one with some sort of window or breeze system. The forecast once again calls for rain, and yet, judging by the 40-degree Celsius weather in this tent, the...

Eagles' Death Metal Rocks

in
By Evan Dickson (CHARTattack) November 14, 2008 4:24 pm
This show renewed my faith in rock 'n' roll. In a world where reality shows like Rock Star: Supernova make being a rock star seem like paint by numbers, a lot of bands just follow the formula and end up turning into ridiculous caricatures — posers of the worst kind with more tattoos than talent. I'm ashamed to admit that I suspected Eagles Of...

Eagles Of Death Metal — Heart On

in
By Shehzaad Jiwani (CHARTattack) October 29, 2008 10:51 am
I think it came as a surprise to everybody when Josh Homme's funny-for-a-little-while, but-please-go-back-to-QOTSA side project Eagles Of Death Metal released Death By Sexy, a legitimately great follow-up to their monotonous debut. This was solely due to the fact that frontman Jesse Hughes decided to write actual songs with irresistible hooks...

Eagles Of Death Metal Get Peaches' Party Started

It's rarely a bad thing when a show you're going to see is downgraded to a smaller venue. Who doesn't want to see their favourite artist in more intimate confines? One of the significant exceptions in Toronto is when a show gets moved from the Kool Haus to the Guvernment. People may complain about the Kool Haus, but it has decent sound and great...

Eagles Of Death Metal — Death By Sexy

By Noah Love (CHARTattack) June 28, 2006 10:21 am
There isn't an original note or sound on Eagles Of Death Metal's sophomore record, and that's just the way everyone likes it. Longtime friends Jesse Hughes and Josh Homme beef up the EODM sound on the tongue-in-cheek "I Gotta Feeling (Just Nineteen)," and "Cherry Cola" might be catchier than anything on Peace, Love, Death Metal...

Eagles Of Death Metal Of The Stone Age Kick Off NXNE

in
By Kyle Carpenter (CHARTattack) June 17, 2010 12:29 pm
The Eagles Of Death Metal were almost three-parts Queens Of The Stone Age last night; everything else was Jesse Hughes. Audience members were sporadically yelling "Eagles!" all night, but after each song a recurring "Hughes!" chant took over. It wasn't hard to see why. In an NXNE kick-off show that set the bar at pole-...

But Hughes wasn't always a hard rockin' chick magnet. In a 10-minute mini-doc that's part of whatweseeiswhatyouget.com's Live From Toronto series, Hughes revealed his nerdy...

Hughes was interviewed by the Montreal Mirror last month and laced into Ulrich for making Metallica uncool. "Lars Ulrich from Metallica is somebody who just really gets my gander up," he said...

EODM Vs. GNR: It's On Again

The great Eagles Of Death Metal/Guns N' Roses feud of 2006 has been renewed. EODM were booted from their opening slot for GNR's 2006 U.S. tour after they received a less-than-welcoming response from folks at Cleveland's Quicken Loans Arena, and Axl Rose called the group the "Pigeons Of Shit Metal."

Jesse "The Devil" Hughes is an understandably busy man.

It's easy to brush Eagles Of Death Metal off as a joke. They started as the goofy side-project of Queens Of The Stone Age leader Josh Homme; their frontman is an irrepressible, mustachioed man; every song is either about sex, rock or both; and they have song titles like "I Want You So Hard." Somewhere along the line, though, Eagles Of...
