Young, hungry, with a cool urgent vibe. Blending blues, soul, rock with an indie rock energy, Big East’s Condita presents very good tunes.
- The Noise
Condita is impressive in its scope and consistency—a collection of driving Northern rock songs fueled by the inspirational angst expected from a group born on this stretch of Comm. Ave.

Big East exudes musical confidence in this track, bolstered by a straight-up guitar lead that locks into place like some swinging piece of machinery that finds home every go-round.

Bio
Big East came together like pieces in a puzzle. Singer/guitarist Jeff Vachon and guitarist Sam Toabe were childhood friends living just North of Boston. One by one, the current band roster gravitated toward the solid songwriting of Vachon, each adding their own musical backgrounds. Drummer Justin Emile steered the band into indie rock territory with unconventional drumming methods. Guitarist Eric Ramsley kept the group grounded to the 60's and 70's styles that have been loved by many for decades. The most recent acquisition, bassist Napoleon Kofi rounds out the band with a flare for the funk. Performing for over a year in venues big and small, Big East brings an energy rarely seen in rock 'n' roll music anymore.
