East of Eden was an atypical band formed by violin
player Dave Arbus in Brighton in 1967.
They released Mercator projected. After
that, Dave Dufort and Steve York left. This was the new lineup:
Dave Arbus (violin)
Geoff Nicholson (guitar)
Andy Sneddon (bass)
Ron Caines (sax)
Geoff Britton (drums)
Their 2nd album was Snafu. Then, Ron
left the band. This was around 1970.
At least, two compilations have been released by
the band. In 1971, a compilation was released, Jig-a-jig,
comprising tracks from their 1st and 2nd albums. Another one was World
of East of Eden.
And now, we have a 20-years
gap! Help here, please!
In 1992, we can find Ron
Caines again, this time playing with Reseach, a lineup formed by Geoff
Serle:
Mark Hewins (guitar)
Simon Murrell (bass)
Ron Caines (sax)
Geoff Serle (drums)
They recorded the album The
perpetual city, although it wasn't released until much later.
In 1997, East of Eden comes
to life again with 3 original members:
Dave Arbus (violin)
Geoff Nicholson (guitar)
Ron Caines (sax)
They release a new album, Kalipse,
with help from bassist Jan Lehne. Due to moderate success, they release
a new one, called Armadillo.
