After playing a handful of shows, EastWave took a break in August of 2010. Our enthusiasm had outpaced our actual recovery from the spring tour accident in Canada. We all needed some time off. I had knee surgery last fall, while Dave had shoulder surgery to repair damaged muscles and nerves. He has continued a rigorous physical therapy regime.

More Info from the band. We’re happy to announce that we will play our first ‘official’ reunion show Monday October 10th at Slates in Hallowell. In 2009 we played a memorable show there to celebrate the release of our EP Soulful Noise, and the bootleg of that show has circulated ever since. We couldn’t be more excited to play here again! We’ll be joined by special guests/family members Tori Morrill and Saeko Nishimura, and have plenty of new music from our upcoming album.
