Speechless. Seriously, last night was OFF. THE. CHAIN. The crowd was moving from the very first note and we could have stayed with you all night long.
Big thanks to the Satori Group for hosting such a wild night of schmoozing, snogging, and strutting. And, of course, Eagle Teeth got everyone in the mood…thanks for being there.
Have a happy New Year. Here’s to 2013!

A GREAT review from Culture Mob about our recent show at BARBOZA. “They play the most incredible dance-rock I’ve heard around the city as of late…I could go on and on about how I’m in love with the lyrics and the keys, but a round of applause needs to be made to their drummer.”
You can read the whole thing online here.

Details about the show: “We will be doing our second dance party of 2012 at the Josephine in Ballard on August 4th. Should be an absolute blast as the last one was. First we will hear the excellent bands Sad Face, Paper Machete and The West before going into a full-on, dance until you drop dance party. Also look for a few surprise covers with different band members to get the bodies moving. I (Andy from Gerhardts) will be DJ’ing the event.”
