"Battle of The Bands: Northside High School"

When I went to the Battle of the Bands at NHS, I didn’t know what to expect. I knew that there were going to be young local bands, but I didn’t know for sure who was going to be there. When I got there around 7:10 PM, I had already missed most of The Necessaries’ performance.
The second band, Turning Point, was good in all aspects of music. They stayed in their range and looked good doing it. They had an impressive stage presence and I thought they did extremely well. Turning Point, stay cool and keep at it. Nice job you guys (and girls).
It was finally time for the defending champions of last year’s Battle of the Bands to play. Eden Creek, formerly known as Eden Court, was up and they gave a performance just the way I expected them to. OUTSTANDING!!! no one missed a single note, and the stage presence was rockin’ and I wanted to get up there with them right then. Amazing job you guys. You definitely have a career in playing music waiting for you in the future.
When all the bands were done playing, the judges has to decide who had won. And the winner was (drumroll) EDEN CREEK!!! right when Clint and Zac played the first chord together I knew they were going to win. And now, they’re the defending champions of a second title. Incredible job you guys. Way to go. After the show, I had a chance to interview Eden Creek back stage.

"Backstage with Eden Creek"

After Battle of the Bands at NHS was over, I got a chance to talk with Eden Creek, the winner. Here's what they had to say.

PG: What are the names of the band members and what do they play?
Zac: I'm Zac young and I play guitar. Jake Greer plays the drums and Keeley Kennedy's got the vocals.
Michael: I'm Michael O'Connor and I play bass.
Clint: I'm Clint Poe and I play guitar.

PG: How long has eden creek been together?
Clint: with this particular lineup, I'd say about a year.

PG: Is this your first competition?
Michael: With this lineup yes, but we wont the battle of the bands last year, and we have two returning members from that lineup.

PG: How long have you guys been involved in music?
Zac: I've been involved for about three years, give or take a few.
Michael: Right around three years, I picked bass up my freshman year.
Clint: I started playing drums when i was five and I picked up guitar when I was about twelve.
Jake: Ive been playin' drums since I was about ten.

PG: What kind of music did you listen to growing up?
Jake: Classic rock and Southern Rock. Just whatever my parents listened to pretty much.
Clint: Southern Rock and country.
Michael: Classic rock, a little bit of Green Day and stuff like that.
Zac: ROCK AND ROLL MAN!!!!

PG: Are you coming out with any albums soon?
Clint: Right now we've got a demo CD out that's got five songs on it. And we're gonna come out with another one as soon as we come up with more originals.
Michael: We got a bunch more stuff bout half done.

PG: How did you come up with the name Eden Creek?
Zac: Well, we practice on eden court, which is where Clint lives. And we were like, "Eden Court. That sounds a little Sesame Street like," so we changed it to Eden Creek.

PG: Which band would you say that you look up to most?
Clint: I love Lynyrd Skynyrd personally, but it just depends on the sound of the music.
Zac: We love Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Hendrix, all that good stuff, and every now and then, a little spice girls.
Michael: For me it's a tie between Led Zeppelin and The Who.
Jake: Skynyrd and Rush
Clint: Zac was joking about the spice girls.

PG: Do you do more cover songs than originals?
Zac: Well right now we're probably doing about the same amount, but we want to do more originals, and we're working on that.

PG: Does anyone in the band take private lessons?
Zac: None of us have ever taken lessons.

PG: Where and how often do you practice?
Michael: Clint's house about one to two times a week. Eden Court.

PG: What is your favorite song that you do as a group?
Zac: Well our favorite song that's an original, I would probably say is the one called Rain. And our favorite cover song is definitely Freebird because Clint Poe plays the hell out of that.

PG: What do you think of the other original bands around here.
Zac: Well, regardless of whether we like the genre of music or not, we respect any band that writes their own songs. We think that's awsome.

"Eden Creek lets the creativity flow"

Most bands that have memebers still in high school are trying to perfect their covers of their favorite classic rocks songs.
Then again, most bands that have memebers still in high school don't hae as much musical history or talent as Eden Cree has.

Eden Creek a local group, rented out the Loft Tuesday and Wednesday to reach a goal most bands only hope to. There recording a CD with 10 original songs in one of the Souths preimere recording studios.
Other than a few jitters the show was no big deal for the group, which won "battle of the bands" at Riverfest last year and has played at the Loft before.

The album which should come out in the begining of April, will be a big step towards that goal. Finding all-ages venues in the area may be next.

"We're not a birthday party cover band," Zac said."We have our own stuff and we want people to hear it." - Ledger Enquier Northland April
