The band started in 2002, Grant and Ted's junior year at Louisiana State University, when the two former high school friends enlisted drummer Greg Gauthreaux and bass player Brian Waits to form "The Double Zeros".
The album's lead track on the EP, "Could Be Anything", was featured on the Abercrombie & Fitch website and two television shows (Grey's Anatomy and Falcon Beach), and received major airplay on college radio stations nationwide.
The song "When You Were a Millionaire" from that album was featured on MTV's new reality show "I'm from Rolling Stone," running at the beginning and end of each of the ten episodes.
In April 2008, Grant Widmer wrote music blog The Rockist Society to let them know the band had decided to go their separate ways: That's right, The Eames Era are no more.
Then it will be time to tour for a while.Grant Widmer and Ted Joyner subsequently formed a new band, Generationals, whose debut album 'Con Law' was released on July 21, 2009.
