When I first got into Eisley I could still sing the high parts on “Invasion” from their Combinations album. That made it all the more charming to sit down in the tour bus with the familial five-piece a couple years and a bit of puberty later at the outset of their ValleyScapes tour.
Kicking off the tour at The Black Sheep in Colorado Springs, I got to see the newest incarnation of Eisley and the darker more visceral sound of The Valley album released this year. Moving the tour to The Marquis Theater in Denver the next day, I was invited aboard the big blue bus to ask the band the questions everybody really wants answered, like what color lightsaber would you have, and what’s your natural hair color? The answer is blond, for every one of them.
These kids were crazy fun, and the espoused Darren King of MUTEMATH, new hubby to Eisley’s Stacy Dupree, was there on the bus to be a welcome obstruction. They promised to be back in CO again, so look out for more to come from Eisley in the future.
