Band of the Day August 28th - Eken Is Dead!

If you've lived in Phoenix in the previous 5 years, you've likely seen this Los Angeles-based band more than a few times, since they stop here so frequently. Currently on Blacksound Records, EID's raucous energy gets put into every note, and every live performance. If you haven't seen these guys, make plans to.

What is EKEN IS DEAD you ask? EID stands for taking the next step in your life; It's conquering your old dreams and moving on to the new. It's killing off what you once believed in and fighting for what matters to you today.

EKEN IS DEAD (say it like wreck, not eek) is a Los Angeles, CA based four-piece band playing elements of hard rock, alternative, metal and punk. Since it's inception in 2008, EID has earned a well deserved reputation based on professionalism and commitment to excellence. Whether an intimate local show or a packed House of Blues, EID has consistently brought their high intensity and charismatic presence to every single one of their shows. In addition to the relentless live schedule for which they have toured both nationally and internationally, EID has independently produced and released two full length albums including their latest effort, What Lies in the Mirror. EID's "No Retreat, No Surrender" attitude is evident as everyday is treated as an opportunity. They continue to grow musically while sharing stages with influential artists and turning on new listeners, all without ever compromising their integrity as musicians or humans. It is this commitment that sets them apart.

The men behind the music are Jake Hanson (drums), Chris Navarrete (vocals), and Gagg Green (bass) and Vic Arevalo (guitar).
