Amarillo band Eddie & The Eat will celebrate the release of its first EP, Midnight Snack, at a Saturday party at Golden Light Cantina, 2908 S.W. Sixth Ave.

The release party kicks off around 9 p.m. Saturday. Callahan Divide and Drew Cypert will open. Cover is $10.

“I’m glad to finally get this thing out. We recorded it back in January and were kind of sitting on it for a little bit,” said frontman Eddie Esler.

“I think it gives a pretty well-rounded perspective of what we all draw upon,” Esler said of the eight-song album. “The way we kind of worked up songs is that I wrote all of the songs and then brought them to the band and said write your parts to it and gave them free reign over what we were going to do.

“We really were able to help create an original sound through doing that,” he continued. “As a team, we just really work well together when we get in that creative space of writing the parts and arranging the songs.”
