Backstage with Eagles of Death Metal

January 16, 2008

Last night was the SPIN Magazine Year in Music Party, a highly anticipated booze-filled evening that featured celebrity appearances; DJs from The Virgins and The Raveonettes; and performances by Eagles of Death Metal, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, and Brother Ali. The whole shindig went down at the new and cozy Highline Ballroom. Did I mention it was sponsored by Heineken and Bushmills Irish Whiskey? The perfect recipe for a party if you ask me. I rolled deep last night with my boys in The Giraffes. A pleasant surprise for their pal Jesse “The Devil” Hughes (EODM dynamic front man) who we later joined backstage, where the real party was just getting started.

Ladies LOVE the Devil’s favorite son.

Surprise! The Giraffes came to show EODM some love.
