On Sunday, November 22nd at Toronto’s world renowned venue, Lee’s Palace (529 Bloor St W), metalheads were treated to a FREE show headlined by local music monsters, Exes For Eyes.
Pumped to help Canadian metallers, Exes For Eyes, led by enigmatic lead vocalist, Big James Arsenian, premiere their brand new music video for “My Life vs. Your Vacation” (feat. Lisa Sinner)!
While at Heavy MTL 2015, we spoke with Exes For Eyes lead singer Big James Arsenian and got a couple rad videos including this Tales of Touring Terror (#ToTT) piece.
Review by Mike Bax Photos by Tim Snow and Eva Blue The seventh presentation of Heavy Montréal once again…
Exes For Eyes is a new metal from Canada formed by Dave Sheldon (Man With Target, Annihilator) and Big James Arsenian (Endast, Authors). In 2011 they released their debut The Amsler Grid on Year Of The Sun Records which was produced, mixed and mastered by guitarist Dave Sheldon. Dave recently put life on hold to discuss the power of his laptop and how it helped him create such a great record.
What do you get when you mix Man With Target with Endast? You get Canadian metal band Exes For Eyes, comprised of Dave Sheldon (Man With Target, Annihilator) and Big James Arsenian (Endast, Authors). These two came together to create 9 pounding tracks which when put all together form the band’s debut album, The Amsler Grid.
I met Big James Arensian this year in Montreal, QC and told him how much I dug his Exes For Eyes album, The Amsler Grid. Thankfully he gave me his email so I could send him some questions about the album, the history of the band and how he keeps his distant relationship strong with Dave Sheldon and the others. Here’s how it went.
