On Saturday, August 10th at 9pm, the Inter-Media Art Center in Huntington, Long Island will host a concert with rock icons ERIC BURDON & THE NEW ANIMALS.

ERIC BURDON's life has been a musical journey matched by few other performers in modern music history. He has gone from the driving force of the grittiest British Invasion band, to pioneering the San Francisco psychedelic rock scene, to fronting WAR, cutting a blues LP with jazz-blues great Jimmy Witherspoon, to coming full circle and reuniting his original band THE ANIMALS for a world-wide tour. Eric Burdon & The Animals had taken the world by storm with such songs as San Franciscan Nights, Colored Rain, When I was Young, White Houses, the fiercely anti-war song Sky Pilot, and the now famous homage to the 1967 Monterey International Pop Festival, Monterey. Eric Burdon & WAR gave us such classics as Tobacco Road and Spill the Wine. Other collaborations include Jazz-Blues great Jimmy Witherspoon and Robby Krieger of the Doors

The latest collaboration, ERIC BURDON & THE NEW ANIMALS has its own sound and in addition to the classic Burdon songs, its own material. The new band features guitarists Dean Restum and Neal Morse (Morse also on keyboards), bassist Dave Meros, and the back-beat of one of the true legends in popular music, drummer Bernie Pershey.
