Equal Opportunity Employment (E.O.E) Hits The Road
 Equal Opportunity Employment |
The critically acclaimed word-funk-hip-hop act Equal Opportunity Employment (E.O.E) is on tour now. The band left on their first national tour the same week Hurricane Katrina struck their native New Orleans, and in the ensuing two years logged over 60,000 miles of touring despite residing in separate parts of the country. E.O.E officially moved back to New Orleans in the fall of 2007, announcing their return with a msgical homecoming show at the historic New Orleans nightclub Tipitina's. Since that time the band has been touted continuously in the Crescent City 's press including a three hour appearance on on the WWL TV morning show, a 90 minute performance on WWOZ 90.7 FM, and features in all of the New Orleans music publications. In April E.O.E received two "Best of the Big Easy" awards topping nationally acclaimed artists such as Lil' Wayne.
E.O.E exists for it's socially progressive message of "Unity Through Diversity" and the band's through-composed songs offer commentary on issues that range from religion to politics and even fish grease (yep, you read it right). The group is officially partnered with the humanitarian agencies Sweet Home New Orleans and A Drop In The Bucket, and informative materials are always available at the band's merchandise stand along with free condoms and a number of other unique offerings.
The band's summer 2008 tour highlights include shows with Michael Franti and Spearhead, a taping for the Fox TV website, multiple radio performances, and a number of outdoor performances.
