Eagles of Death Metal is an American rock band founded by best friends Jesse Hughes and Joshua Homme. Despite their band name, Eagles of Death Metal is not a death metal band and is intended to be humorous. With a sound that's a combination of "bluegrass slide guitar mixed with stripper drum beats and Canned Heat vocals," and a frontman in Hughes who is known for his over-the-top stage histrionics and evangelistic interaction with his fans, the band's live performances are a sight to be seen. Get your tickets now or enter to win a free pair! Crystal Ballroom, 1332 W Burnside, Wed December 31, 9pm, $57-113.30, 21+  GOOD LUCK! Winners will be notified on Monday, and check back next week for more FREE TIX from the Mercury! ...read more read less
