Eros and the Eschaton

Dream pop group Eros and the Eschaton was founded by Kate Perdoni and Adam Hawkins, longtime couple and parents. The two met in 2010 when both were on tour with different bands. A romance quickly blossomed and before they were making music together, they were welcoming the birth of a son in 2011. Following a long road trip, the new family ended up in Greensboro, North Carolina, intent on spending time living in the country to raise their son and record an album of what would become Eros and the Eschaton songs. 2012 was spent finding their sound, which ended up steeped in classic influences of Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine, tempered with inventive mixing and recording techniques. The band self-released a few singles and toured sporadically in 2012, readying their debut album Home Address for Civil War, which was released by Bar/None Records in August of 2013. Following extensive touring in support of the record, the duo settled in Colorado and expanded the group to a five-piece with the addition of drummer Alex Koshak, keyboard player Mitch Macura, and bassist Ryan Spradlin. The band appeared at several national music festivals and were named the Best Pop Band of 2015 by Denver alternative weekly newspaper Westword. Eros and the Eschaton's second album, Weight of the Matter, appeared in August of 2016.
