BIOGRAPHY
Started in 2006 by founding members ChrisV and Chris B. The duo quickly enlisted the services of bassist Jon Shaw (toured with The Walkmen and LA's Broken West) and unique drummer Carter Mclean (Drummer for Hit Broadway show The Lion King). The Beasts of Eden began its musical journey as an idea between friends who shared similar visions: catchy, hook-laden rock, focusing on melodies with dreamy atmospheric qualities, all the while grounding the dream with hard hitting rhythms and punchy guitars (yes, it's a mouthful). These guys have already began their journey with some great success: Whether it's the title track "End Times" off their debut EP being featured in the new Ford/Microsoft Sync commercial (with artists like The Strokes and Flaming Lips), their involvement with Playboy Magazine and their highly influential Rock the Rabbit 08' campaign (alongside iconic artists such as Duran Duran and Iggy Pop), or the support of BBC One radio stalwarts such as Steve Lamacq and Zane Lowe, the Beasts are making a name for themselves while doing what they love to do (and enjoying every minute of it!)
With only a debut EP as a starting point, the Beasts of Eden are looking forward to their first full length LP which will be out later this year on Gift Music in the UK and all of Europe. Stay tuned for what is going to be a great year for the band!!
Close On the Horizon:
-UK Tour in Fall 08'
