Eben have been performing over the summer at festivals and venues across the UK. Highlights have included being picked by Zane Lowe and Hugh Stephens to play at Radio 1's Fringe Festival in Maidstone (lead up to the Big Weekend), playing at ZOO8 Festival, Kent (Mark Ronson, Pendulum and The Hives), Greenbelt Festival (Jose Gonzales, Fightstar and The Race), Lounge on the Farm Festival (The View, Super Furry Animals and Mystery Jets) & headlining at Soul Survivor Festival, Somerset. Brightness EP was recorded by the band at The Way Studio, London, and produced by Tai Azeez. The EP has been recieved really well since its release and Brightness has been used in an award winning Hollywood short movie.
The main influences eben would cite would be Sigur Ros, Arcade Fire and Radiohead, whilst enjoying a wide range of music genres from classical to progressive rock to indie.
"Eben are one of the finest bands that Kent has to offer, they never cease to set a high standard for unsigned acts to follow." Tom Kirkby BBC Kent Introducing.
Room Thirteen give Brightness EP 10/13 and write: "With a delicate reverence Eben paint melodic, touching tunes that swell with bliss and hope. The epic tunes with depth and dreamy introspection displayed on the 'Brightness EP' would be a fine start for any band, and having only to into being last year, Eben display an intricacy in their music that is highly sought after by far older groups."
Momentum (Soul Survivor Festival 06) write: "Only formed in spring this year, eben, have been making some noise on the scene with their anthemic, beautiful and inspiring genius. Dense lyrics and sparse melodies seamlessly blend together with no sound or hint of contradiction. Your chance to see them before the NME writers are gloating about UK rocks latest unconventional find."

Eben Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tired of looking with my head down
I'm over it, over it
Over it, over it
Pulling your receipt out
Ain't got nothin' in my account
I'm over it, over it
Over it, over it
They say money can't buy you happiness
Say money can't buy you happiness
They say money can't buy you happiness
I'd rather cry in a Lambo
Be depressed at the chateau
Live off my parents' bankroll
I'd rather cry, rather cry, rather cry, rather cry in a Lambo
I see people at Rodeo
As I shop from the window
I want all of it, all of it
All of it, all of it
They vacationing in Cabo
Poppin' bottles in casinos
I want all of it, all of it
All of it, all of it
They say friends and family make you rich
Say friends and family make you rich
They say money can't buy you happiness
I'd rather cry in a Lambo
Be depressed at the chateau
Live off my parents' bankroll
I'd rather cry, rather cry, rather cry, rather cry in a Lambo
Don't want to cry in my Honda, cry in my closet
Or in the back of my shitty apartment
Cry in the Target with an empty wallet
Sit here in the dark, wonder why she hadn't called yet
Wanna chill in the sauna, doing what I wanna
That's the only reason that I'm saving up this karma
They say money can't buy you happiness
Say money can't buy you happiness
They say money can't buy you happiness
I'd rather cry in a Lambo
Be depressed at the chateau
Live off my parents' bankroll
I'd rather cry, rather cry, rather cry, rather cry
I'd rather cry in a Lambo
Be depressed at the chateau
Live off my parents' bankroll
I'd rather cry, rather cry, rather cry, rather cry in a Lambo
The song "Lambo" by Eben talks about the desire to live a luxurious lifestyle despite feeling stressed and financially burdened. Eben expresses frustration with his current situation and expresses a desire to have more material possessions. He mentions seeing people on vacation and shopping in expensive stores and wanting that lifestyle for himself.
However, Eben also acknowledges that money cannot buy happiness, as he repeatedly mentions this throughout the song. He also acknowledges the importance of friends and family in one's life. Despite this, he would still rather cry in a Lamborghini than in a Honda, which suggests that he still values material possessions to an extent.
