Based out of Northern California., EXIT EDEN was formed in 2008 by two seasoned veterans of the SF Bay Area Music Scene, “Gary Lawhon (lead vocalist/bassist) and Ty Phinney (guitarist/backing vocals)”. Dave Lynch (drums/percussion) joined up shortly there after solidifying a raw and fierce powerhouse trio fueled by the pure love of music and the joy of performing live! With influences ranging from Led Zeppelin to Metallica, the members of EXIT EDEN with their differing musical backgrounds, styles and tastes have created a unique blend of music that never seems to leave the listener feeling like “we’ve heard this before”. With a retro heart and a modern mind EXIT EDEN’s music manages to “excite” multiple generations. They strive to keep music simple, fun and positive playing every show like it was their last. These boys obviously love what they do and they do it well! As Ted Ramey from the SF Examiner quoted in a recent interview: “When I sat down with the guys from Exit Eden, they conveyed to me a very peaceful love of their music, their time together, and the road ahead. They take a “whatever happens-happens” attitude and let their music speak for itself. The music is a mash of late 70’s rock, 90’s attitude, and the day to day grind that works its way out of layered rhythms, crunchy chords, and smooth changes into a potent sound waiting to explode one second, and whisper the next”. EXIT EDEN recently released their 1st EP titled “Population Unknown”. The digital releases can be found on CD Baby (www.cdbaby.com/cd/exiteden), iTunes, Amazon, and other major digital retailers. They are currently working hard on their full length CD release and a video shoot. With a steadily growing popularity and fan base, EXIT EDEN takes their act on the road as often as possible, performing all over the Bay Area and beyond. If you haven’t heard of them yet, perhaps you’re not getting out enough on the weekend and supporting your local music scene. No worries…just keep an ear out for em’ playing in your neck of the woods, come to the show, (possibly win a free CD, tee shirt, and a cold beer :-), and be prepared to rock hard, feel good, and be dazzled by their usually impressive stage show. Whenever club owners let them get away with it, lasers, sirens and smoke will delight your senses while being assaulted by the brute force of Marshall Stacks! Don’t worry though…they’ll leave their fireworks at home (Thank God!). See you at the show!
