We were excited to hear about the return of Eve to Adam to the Ace of Spades in Sacramento. We had just seen them perform last month and they were incredible. This time, they did it again as they returned and gave a powerful energetic set on a Sunday night. We had the opportunity to talk with the band shortly before they took to the stage and are pleased to bring you that interview here: One thing is for sure, Eve to Adam truly know how to rock a set. They came out all fired up and fueled for a night of rock. What I also love about them is how they can perfect their set to emulate their studio sound. Frontman Taki Sassaris projects his powerful vocals and you are absolutely captivated. Guarav Bali dishes out some amazing smokin guitar solos as Adam Latiff is on the opposite side and is a ball of fire on his guitar. Aaron Baylor is slamming on the bass as he delivers his spirited stage presence. Bringing [Read More]
