Show Review – Myrtle Beach, NC PEPPER W/ REDEYE EMPIRE AT THE HOUSE OF BLUES
By Ashleey Williamson
Pepper has always had this amazing way of finding bands with the hottest contemporary style, roots and reggae dub fashion to pump up the show before they hit the stage. This show was no different. … Iration used its time quite well – nine songs in 30 minutes and nothing seemed too short. RedEye Empire was next. From Canada, eh? By the end of the second song, “Trippin’ on Babylon,” the crowd was hooked. The boys of the Empire definitely keep the dub style fresh, but incorporate more punk and ska than anything. The pit got started during the third song, “Slow down,” which ironically was one of the softer songs, but regardless, those guys know how to rock. The stage presence of every last member of this band was absolutely incredible. They could have been playing the worst music in the world and still had the crowd hyped simply based on their energy on stage. Take some Red Hot Chili Peppers, a dab of Sublime, some 311 and six guys from Canada and you’ve got yourself one hell of a band. By the time Pepper hit the stage, the floor was packed and fans everywhere were screaming….-

Club Kingsnake Reviews
Redeye Empire is based out of Vancouver, B.C. and despite growing up all that cold rain, these canucks managed to cross roots reggae and rock to make their songs sound sun drenched. With some neat songs in their setlist like “Bloodright” they had more of a buzz and edge than the first two bands, and were more poppy and bouncy. The dual lead vocals passing between Mike Redmond and Gabe Davis gave them a more rounded sound, and the guitar work of Andre Arsenault was fantastic, making me wonder if he was really Carlos Santana trying to disguise himself with a hat. Lots of energy, these guys were a lot of fun and a great way to lead in to Pepper.
