June 14, 2012 - Gaurav lands endorsement with EVH Fender
We'd like to congratulate Gaurav on his new endorsement with EVH/Fender. The company, which is a partnership between Eddie Van Halen and Fender Musical Instruments, makes custom guitars and amplifiers that are used by everybody from death metal bands to pop artists. "I've been using the EVH amplifiers for about a year and I really wanted to meet their product manager Chris Cannella to see if I could develop a relationship with the company," says Gaurav. "Coincidently, Eric Friedman from Creed also plays these amplifiers, so Chris came to the show in Phoenix and I finally got a chance to meet with him. He ended up checking out the band and wanted to work with me. It's an amazing company, so being associated with them is an honor."

Three more great reviews of "Banquet for a Starving Dog" Oct. 9, 2011
Review of "Banquet for a Starving Dog" by Gus Griesinger of Backstage Axxess
Queens, New York's own Eve to Adam's third (3rd) studio release is titled “Banquet for a Starving Dog.” The CD was produced by Paul Lani and released by 3 for 5 Entertainment Group.
The hard and melodic “Run Your Mouth” is the leadoff track and was the first single released. Gaurav Bali dishes out a catchy hook in this one. Alex Sassaris drums lay the foundation on “My Vanity.” His brother Taki’s vocals are a perfect complement and he just plainly sings his ass of on this song. "Fault Line” has an angered tempo and the vocals are delivered with urgency. The rhythm section of Alex Sassaris and Eric Bergmann take this song where it needs to go.
Bali’s picking and guitar work is the highlight of “In a Hurry.” I love the band's harmonies on the chorus and this may be my favorite track on the CD. I also love the heartfelt “Banquet for a Starving Dog.” The song encompasses everything. It has great guitar work, consistent rhythm, and a combination of melodic and gritty vocals when needed. Producer Lani adds piano on “Stay” and the ballad “Getting Weird Without You.”
The up-tempo “Little Says” keeps the momentum and flow of the CD going with a scorching guitar solo by Bali. “Reach” is another favorite of mine and I could see this being their second single. The song embodies inspiration.
This CD is one of the more pleasant releases of 2011. If you’re looking for something different, and that diamond in the rough, then this is the release for you!
