department of eagles live in concert

Wow, we never thought we'd see the day, but our favorite songwriting/studio project Department of Eagles is graduating to live band status. This should be something to see. The group plays the Brooklyn Vegan-presented record release party for their upcoming 4ad album In Ear Park on October 6, at the brand new Bell House venue in Brooklyn, NY. Check the vitals here.

Despite the band's newbie status in the live arena, we ain't worried. Featuring three-fourths of road-tested Brooklyn favorites Grizzly Bear, the group should hit like a freshly tightened snare. That leaves only our good friend Fred as the band's mysterious X-factor. What surprises, Fred? What hidden tricks?
