Add New Review About The Artist The Reviews about Better Than Ezra (page 1/1) Better than ever | Reviewer: Rene Lester Loftin | 3/15/09 I am from a small town called Oak Grove, La. Knew this little kid named Keven Griffen. To make a story short, I was older and moved away to go to college and started my life. I heard of this Group BTZ, but I never really took the time( with raising kids and all) to listen.....Last night they were in Bossier and I went, and I was blown away..Kevin is an amazing singer and has a amazing talent. I haven't seen him in many years, but I knew him at first site. Still got the baby face..... My daughter has been telling me this for years...I am so glad I went and saw BTE!!!!! I will go back!!!!! Would love to see you you guys when the weather is a little more warm....frooze our ass off... Whould you be willing to come to Moscow? | Reviewer: Luda Foresman | 2/16/08 Dear Kevin! My name is Luda Foresman, my husband is Bob Foresman. We do live in Moscow since 1999. The last time we were at your concert in Syracuse in December 1998, and of course, Bob wanted to see you after show, but I was a week away from giving birth to our son Alex (who was born as 10.10lb baby on December 20th), so I could not stay there that late. I feel very bad that we missed a chance back then to see you. I understand that it is not easy to see someone when you are busy up on stage... Since then our family grow a lot, and we have five children now. We love your music and a lot of my friends from different countries asking me for CDs, I play it in my car a lot. Bob and two of his other friends are planning relativly big party this September in Moscow. It would be incredible if you could come. What would it take for you to come? PLease, let me know. Thank you, Luda. A band as unique as their hometown of New Orleans... | Reviewer: Bernie Halprin | 1/17/08 I have been a HUGE BTE fan for many years, dating back to my college days at LSU. BTE actually played an Acacia fraternity formal, which I mention to illustrate that these guys did not achieve stardom overnight. Quite the contrary, they persevered and paid their dues, which has subsequently rewarded them in a big way. Their music and lyrics are truly a work of art, with each song being the equivalent of an individual tapestry. A bonafide masterpiece. BTE's brilliance is evidenced by the fact that their songs don't all sound alike. Of course with Kevin Griffin's magically distinct vocals, when he wails you know you are listening to BTE. That aspect aside, the band's songlist runs the gamut from pure rock tracks like " Desperately Wanting" and " Good" to ballads such as " This Time of Year". When they really want to unleash their inner-hard rock side, the band will break into a track like " Pull". Being a New Orleanian is a huge advantage for a true BTE fan like myself, as they play several dates at the brilliant House of Blues each year, with each and every show a sell-out. The crowd enjoys a wonderful and somewhat intimate connection with this magnificent three-piece. Whenever Kevin, Tom and Travis take the stage at HOB in NOLA, the crowd breaks into a frenzy that will remain intact until the final song of the encore. As if BTE's musical contributions are not enough, it turns out that these are three very nice guys. Good solid citizens. Their BTE Foundation hosts a charity golf tournament each year, with proceeds always pointed to worthwhile causes. Plus the guys are big-time LSU fans, which should underscore that they always love a good party. BTE is one-of-a-kind. Their talents are extraordinary ( also the name of a hit track of theirs) so catch these guys live whenever you can. Take it from a true music fan like myself...you won't regret it! BEST BAND EVER | Reviewer: vash | 7/6/07 From the first song i've heard to the last, i've liked every lyric. PLease, kevin create another album soon, i'm dying to hear a new album from you guys. The songs CLOSER, LIKE IT LIKE THAT,DAYLIGHT, BREATHELESS, KING OF NO, SINCERELY ME, AMERICAN DREAM, EXTRAORDINARY, GET YOU IN, OUR LAST NIGHT and all of your songs are the best in the world. PLEASE make more music. INSANELY YOURS, vash they are just awesome | Reviewer: brittnay | 6/9/07 better than ezra has been my favorite band for a long time. I love how each song has a different feel to it. The guys work really well writing songs, I just wish that I was able to walk into a store and be able to buy their albums. I walked into the stores on the release date of Before the Robots, and asked if the store had any in stock and they said that they had never heard of the band. Ezralite | Reviewer: jess | 12/7/05 I'm a huge fan of BTE. The songs are so easy to get into, and relate well to anyone who digs lyrics. There is a different sound to many of the songs, and there is no set "genre" for the guys to fit into. Personally, I started with "how does your garden grow?", bought "closer" and then worked my way back through previous albums. I've got to say I haven't been disappointed by anything they've released (only that BTE doesn't release enough of their rare songs). Again, I'm a huge fan. strangely familiar | Reviewer: clare haeuser | 11/6/05 heyy my name is clare haeuser I live in Covington Louisiana. Better then Ezra became my favorite band when i was about 8 years old. My uncle, bennett Murphy had given my mom a cd of all of his music, including some of yalls music, and i fell completely in love wiht it. Then i started reading biogrophies on the band and i learned that yall had played yalls first gig at my uncles bar, and i almost fell of my chair. I also remember at last years mardi gras, i was walking along a parade route when i saw yall atop a float, so ofcourse i went to go catch something, and i came back wiht a bead that says BTE on it. i still have it too this day. i just wanted to let you know that i am a big fann of your music, and that i know people who knew you. If that makes any sense at all. i dont know. loads of luck and love <3 clare haeuser #1 fan Add New Review About The Artist
