Thank you for your positive comments, review, posting, whatever it's called. Though not confirmed, the grill is believed to be off an old Bentley. Some guy may have got knifed in the spleen while lifting it from it's rightful owner but I could just be makin' that up. Engine of the Future are considering bringing on a person of accurate ethnic origin to sing the Curtis Mayfield cover as it contains the word "nigger" and at this time cannot be sung by any current EOTF member for fear of liability or severe beat down(s). Check engineofthefuture.com for future shows.

I, too, was at the most wonerfulshow by these three fellas. However, I was struck by the fact that the best song of the night - THE LESSON - was actually from the drummers side project SMASH ALLEY (nee BOUND FOR VEGAS). I say, let the boy behind the kit free, lose the lab coats, and crank it up a notch. EOTF are a good band - it's just too bad that they have to ride the coattails of a great band - SMASH ALLEY. Cheers lads. See you at the Carnegie show. PS :Morningmaker sucks and the drummer from EOTF can, and will, kick all of their asses at once.

So much fun last night at the Silvertone, beginning with the stage design- What car if that grill off of?? so cool...and the bass player, so Tight! that was a Curtis Mayfield riff for sound check right? #$%^&@ he has Jazzy Flair, such fluid left hand, interesting plucking techniques, could listen for days...your drummer has a good contrasting/accompanying voice, adds alot, you all hold time and spotlight/hi-light each other nicely, some tricky changes, really fun variances of song styles (rap, reggae, countryrock) retaining authentic vibe with originality... Fun! nice jackets! your harp player is perfect, I think he wanted to play more...great jam at the end, I could go on about the bass player, so bonus that he looks EXACTLY like Eugene Levy with grey curly hair - THANK you guys, (very surprising) great night.
