The Band of Heathens

The way that the American rock band, The Band of Heathens, split their song writing between three band members is something that works really well for the band, giving each track an original sound, and making sure that it doesn’t get samey and repetitive. Although one of the original song writers, Colin Brooks, is no longer in the band, they’re still as tight as ever and have a great and varied sound still.

They opened the show with Ed Jurdi coming on stage and shouting out to the audience that the band hoped we were having a great time, and to sing and dance along with their tracks if we knew them. He then introduced the rest of the band, and they launched into their title track from The Double Down, and of course everyone was familiar with it and singing along.

They played a great selection of their music from over the years, and Ed and Gordy Quist, the vocalist and guitarist, even played some of their solo material with the band as their backing which went down really well, and was a really nice surprise part of the show. All of the band were great at performing, and super talented at their instruments.
