Indianapolis band Eisenhower Field Day got their name from a
t-shirt and their organic hybrid of energetic, melodic music
by skimming the sweet cream from the various forms of
'80s-'90s above- and below-ground pop.
Starting over as three-fourths of primitive pop quartet
Turnip Blood, Eisenhower Field Day began writing and
recording new material as a trio in late 2001. Their potent
combination of oblique guitar, wistful harmonies, and brisk,
powerful drumming drew attention, and their 7-song 2003 EP,
Our Time in the Colonies, drew raves, with irresistible lead
single "Don't Throw Away," a classroom lament as catchy as it
is heartbreaking, and "Exit 51," a fiery ode to day jobs,
truck stops, and the midwestern highway.
Unlucky listeners who've been missing out can catch up now,
as the EP is a bonus on the disc of their new long-player on
Lesser Note Records, Let's not tell lies, 10 songs that
broaden and deepen the band's emotional and sonic range with
the brooding power of "Conversation Lows," the stampeding
"Idolize," the light-hearted theocratic doomsaying of
"National Sunday Law," and the churning voodoo of "Recently
Out Loud."
Eisenhower Field Day are currently winning converts and
debuting new material with an expanding schedule of exciting
live shows throughout 2006 and 2007.
