Men of Easy Company
Thirsty Traveler Gospel Songbook
Joel Schuman
Eric Larson
Robert Eisenbraun
Justin Rose
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, Sex Pistols, and Bonnie “Prince” Billy. But the Easy Co. hasn’t evolved smoothly. It began with Robert Eisenbraun, Joel Schuman, Eric Larson, and Justin Rose back in April 2007. Unfortunately, Justin moved on to train youth leaders in Kenya, and Eric got a girlfriend. With Joel 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.
The band’s first tour of North Park University’s Java Haus circuit was rough, but they’ve come a long way since Robert first started recording his side project Electrohome in 2004. More than four people raved about their April 2009 release, Thirsty Traveler Gospel Songbook,
and pre-sales skyrocketed past LMR’s previous pre-sale record. No doubt they are on the brink of an exciting new round of tours, a rapidly increasing fan base, and social networking heaven.
In the medianwhat, ask them to play at an open mike or on a street corner.
