Was late to discover the Black Eyes and always so bummed we never caught them live. So grateful for the show Friday night!! Black Eyes did not disappoint and brought their righteous rock and roll to life! It was fantastic!❤️

Black Eyes Biography
Black Eyes is a five piece art-punk band formed in 2001. With two full-time drummers, two bassists, two vocalists, one guitarist and an array of auxiliary percussion, the five piece blended exuberantly danceable post-punk with an abrasive, caustic wildness inspired in equal measure by hardcore, free jazz, and 20th century composition. Singers Hugh McElroy and Daniel Martin-McCormick wove breathless tirades around each other, building densely-layred lyrical deluges exploring trauma, the crisis of masculinity, queer sexuality, a post 9-11 political landscape and the early rumblings of 21st century fascism. Drummers Mike Kanin and Dan Caldas engineered a roiling rhythmic interplay that maintained a tight groove as often as it erupted in furious explosions. Bassist-turned-saxophonist Jacob Long and McElroy meanwhile weighted the rhythm with thick, dubby undertows and punctuated it with springy, lithe countermelodies, while Martin-McCormick unleashed sprays of flinty chaos on guitar.
The band released two full-length recordings on D.C. label Dischord Records: 2003’s self-titled and 2004’s Cough. They also released the 2002 two-song “Some Boys” seven inch on McElroy’s Ruffian Records, a two song split seven inch with Early Humans on the Planeria label, and had a track on the Closet Full of Clothes compilation on the White Denim label.
