It's no secret I love Eternal Fair (lots and lots). They're one of Seattle's best kept secrets which is good for those who like to hoard local indie talent, but bad for an up-and-coming band. After months of wishing, hoping and waiting for an Eternal Fair album, the clouds parted on my inbox and lead singer Andrew Vait dropped musical gold last month with, "Are you interested in an advanced digital copy of our EP?"
Um...YES. A thousand times, YES.
The Vait-Rusinow-Nash trifecta comes in hot on their eponymous EP, Eternal Fair, Volume 1, released for public consumption this past Monday. It's a mix bag of kaleidoscopic hustle filling a rock & roll shaped void in Seattle's music scene. Best of all, you can download the whole shebang for FREE (seriously guys...FREE!) here and read up on my two favorite tracks below.
Boxes in the Attic - Warning: Best listened to on full blast with the sun blazing and windows down. This ear snack reeks of summer, the Duck Tales theme song and is guaranteed to make you stomp and shake it. Best of all there's something deliciously nostalgic about it - instantly taking me back to a summer spent on the rivers in Texas with coolers of Lone Star, spigot bags of margaritas and a floatilla of drunken friends.
Billy Keep Your Head Up - I'm shamelessly in LOVE with this song. I first heard it last year when the EF boys opened for Allen Stone at the Crocodile and they kill it live every single time. It's a swagger-filled fable wrapped up in fuzzy guitar solos that showcase Vait's talent on the strings.
As if free music isn't enough, you can see these guys live this Friday, February 25th @ the High Dive. Show starts @ 9:30 pm and is $8 in advance or $10 at the door ($1.27 service fee if you buy pre-sale). Get your tickets here and get 'em quick people. This show is sure to prove that Eternal Fair is here to stay.
