Nelson Band tributes to 'EAGLES'


A Nelson tribute band to the rock legends The Eagles is playing in Picton next Thursday, bringing to life classic hits like Hotel California, Tequila Sunrise, Long Run, and New Kid In Town.

The Eagles were formed in Los Angeles in 1971 by Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner. Producing five No1 singles and six No1 albums, they were recognised as being among the most successful recording artists of the 1970s.

The Eagles broke up in 1980, then reunited in 1994 to release the album Hell Freezes Over, which features a mix of live and new studio tracks. The band has toured intermittently since then.

In 2007, The Eagles released Long Road out of Eden, the band's first full studio album in 28 years. Tours to promote it continued into 2009 and further concerts in North America are set for later this year.
