Tourdate Roundup: Kevin Eubanks, The Pains of Being Pure At Heart, The Ferocious Few Guitarist Kevin Eubanks had held one of the most coveted chairs in television for nearly 18 years as the leader of The Tonight Show Band, when his muse struck and prompted him to take his axe and move on. Kevin surely did not idle away what little free time he had during that tenure, touring everywhere in the country and world when time permitted, plus releasing several CDs on his own imprint. This release finds him in the company of his favorite players, most of whom can be found jamming with him at L.A.’s famed Baked Potato (a guitar paradise where Larry Carlton, Allan Holdsworth, Steve Lukather, Lee Ritenour, etc. have all performed). Run, don’t walk, to the nearest player and check out “Spider Monkey Café,” “The Dirty Monk,” and more sizzlin’ six-string songs.

“Well, it’s hard to imagine a more pleasant way to begin CMJ 2010 than this, a half full Irving Plaza on a Tuesday night, before the adrenaline really takes hold, four dudes in sweaters playing staunchly pretty Smiths/Cocteau Twins/Shop Assistants-reviving, anglophilic dream rock with a lot of competence and almost zero banter between songs.” -The Village Voice
