We Are The Mess

After the release of their debut album Bury Me In Vegas, the six guys of Eskimo Callboy would never have thought, not even in their wildest dreams, that one year later, they would play an almost sold out show in gambler's paradise, Las Vegas. But let's start from the beginning... When the rare birds from the deepest depths of Germany's Ruhr Area, Castrop Rauxel to be more precise, signed their first record contract in 2011 with Redfield Records, the band had existed only for about a year. At this time, the self-titled EP had already been thrown on the market and was going to be re-released by their new label partner. The touring machine was steadily working on almost every weekend and their cheeky performances laid the foundation for later successes. The video for the cover version of Katy Perry's California Gurls that was produced at that time and has collected almost a million clicks on YouTube up to this day. In March 2012 the much-debated band released their debut album Bury Me In Vegas after the single Is Anyone Up had already hit like a bomb and has grown to be the band's top hit. With the release on Redfield Records the album got it's decent shape in form of a special bundle along with a foxtail and a manual for wild parties. Later it was also released in Japan via the big label Redtone Music and on the famous metal label Earache Records in the USA and Great Britain. During the following months the concert history got longer and longer. Aside from touring with Callejon or Asking Alexandria, there were also journeys all over the world that became true highlights. Eskimo Callboy traveled to Russia und saw Eastern-European fans freak out completely. In Japan they were treated like big rock stars on the Geki Rock Tour Vol. 5 and when their Asia tour took them to China, the six-piece suddenly found itself on the Chinese Wall - a striking experience! But things got even more crazy when Eskimo Callboy were confirmed for the four week long Fight To Unite Tour that took them to through the whole of the United States in a mobile home. In the meantime they also found some time to give an interview to the European culture channel arte that called them one of the leading icons of the Generation Y in their TV coverage about them. In Las Vegas, on the last date of the tour, the band lived up to the album title, played a breakneck show and almost missed the plane that took them straight on the next journey, the famous Full Metal Cruise. As the only Electro-Core act they entered the decks and stages of the cruiser ship and not even the die-hard metal fans were left cold. In the following months Eskimo Callboy stormed the stages of the main open-air festivals like Open Flair, Reload, Serengeti and many more. At an impressive tent-show on the legendary Wacken Open Air one could even observe the marriage proposal of a fan to his beloved on stage. While the band was already back in the studio in the late summer of 2013, to continue the work on the follow-up to Bury Me In Vegas, an invitation to the Metal Hammer Awards was in the mail. The band traveled to Berlin, stumbled over the black carpet and won, completely surprised, the acclaimed Metal Hammer Award in the category Up and Coming. They took it as the well-deserved salary for the unbelievable last months. There is no pause for Eskimo Callboy, the band doesn't rest on it's laurels. While working on the second album We Are The Mess they supported Callejon for another time and played in Belarus, Russia and the Ukraine - this time in sold out venues. While the songs were written all of the six musicians were sure that the growing expectations wouldn't prevent them from doing anything they want. The band returned to it's roots, what only means that they recorded in their own studio with great fun and under the influence of a few drinks. They again conquer every musical border and poach unimpressed in all genres. For Eskimo Callboy We Are The Mess is the perfect continuation of modern, danceable guitar music, which is also perfectly presented in their first single
