Here’s some more info, courtesy of The Eagle on Facebook:
Enter Torche, the four-pronged Floridian Riff Colossus that has steamrolled its way across the international underground. Led by vocalist/guitarist Steve Brooks (formerly of doom dropouts Floor) and featuring the myriad talents of drummer Rick Smith, bassist Jonathan Nuñez and guitarist Juan Montoya, Torche unfurled their self-titled debut in 2005 via Richmond, Virginia’s Robotic Empire. The glorious half-hour of blissed-out power-grooves, triumphant vocal harmonies and cosmic resonance within was variously hailed as “stoner pop,” “thunder rock,” and “doom pop,” but a consensus was quickly reached within the Fourth Estate: Both the underground and mainstream press had their hands halfway down their pants just thinking about listening to Torche. The band was immediately lauded as giants among men, leaders among sheep, and powerbrokers of a deadly new sonic idiom founded upon Brooks’ signature “bomb-string” detonation-detune.

The eagle is a leather bar. stupid hipster.
And your point is… ?
I don’t get it? The Eagle has always been a great venue — especially for bands with queer members.
The Eagle is no longer a gay mens bar it has been de-sexualized by the influx
Went there the other night for drinks between bands at DNA and am pretty sure I was the only straight dude there.
why did you feel you needed to invade gay male space?
I probably have been going to The Eagle long before you moved here, the beer busts are awesome. So by your reasoning gay people shouldn’t go to mostly straight places? You don’t sound very open minded to me.
Have you ever thought about adding a little bit
more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and everything.
Nevertheless think about if you added some great photos or videos to give your posts more, “pop”!
Your content is excellent but with images and clips,
this blog could undeniably be one of the greatest in its niche.
Excellent blog!
