It's a weird thing.... 20 years ago, EZN were Rolling Stone magazine's 'best new band of 1991'. How their career nose-dived from there is probably a story many bands could tell but they shoulda been huge. I've followed everything they've done, including hours of Donnie Vie's late-night ramblings from his subscription-only website, and they hold a special place in my heart. I can't honestly say they are one of 'the great' bands, but they mean a lot to me and whilst there's something sad and faded about them being reduced to playing a room above a pub in Camden to about 100 people (they can't possibly be making money out of it), to have already seen them in London twice in 2010 is amazing to me. Two years ago I drove from LA to Las Vegas just to see them - no casino, no Vegas strip - and drove the long road back through the desert again the next day. There couldn't have been more than 30 people watching in the 'Canyon Club' that night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6hlXIaNjEc
Tonight I went to see Lou play at college, then went home to do some (more) work, then 'popped into town' to see Chip & Donnie. Amazing! Who'dathought?!
