Golden Animals

Golden Animals is an American pop / rock & roll / psychedelic / blues / folk / country band formed by Tommy Eisner in 2006.

History
The group officially began in 2006 in Brooklyn, New York, when Tommy Eisner met Linda Beecroft on and added her on drums and backing vocals to songs he had been writing, recording and performing solo since 2002. They played for several years and tour internationally in North America, Europe and Africa. In 2014, Eisner and Beecroft decided to take a break from playing together. In the summer of 2016, Eisner moved to Los Angeles to reform the group as a larger ensemble adding Eyal Lidergot (Guitar), TJ Tate (Guitar), Matteo Arias (Bass), and Justin Smith (drums).
