Back in the day, the Men of Easy Company played everywhere. Critics swore they were formed from the same primordial ooze as bands like Led Zepplin, the Rolling Stones, the Sex Pistols, and Bonnie "Prince" Billy. But the Easy Co. hasn't evolved as smoothly as those bands have. It's been fronted by Robert Eisenbraun and backed by Joel Schuman, Eric Larson, and Justin Rose since April 2007. Unfortunately, Robert can't remember his lines, Justin is graduating and moving on, Eric is a math education major, and Joel is drunk. With Joel's and Robert's personalities constantly struggling for artistic control over the band, and Eric's ever-increasing commitment to school and women, they've had their share of controversy.

When the band first toured North Park University's Java Haus circuit they knew they would face trouble. They made all of their own booking and travel plans, and even their own promotion! They quickly realized they would have to make their own album and artwork in total by themselves. They've come a long way since Robert first started recording his side project Electrohome in 2004, though. Despite not having heard it yet, critics already rave about their first and upcoming release, Thirsty Traveler Gospel Songbook, and pre-sales have already skyrocketed past previous pre-sale records. It has a promising start, and its release in the fall of 2008 will no doubt launch them into an exciting new round of tours, expanding fan bases, and social networking heaven.

In the meantime, you may get them to play at an open mike or on a street corner if you beg.
