Featuring former members of Phoenix band Bodhisattva and Portland’s short-lived, exclusively house show band BOOKENDS, Lasers for Eyes is a bass-crunching, drum-rattling duo who draws influences from Northwest post-punk and noise like Blood Brothers and The Get Hustle, as well as San Diego-area psych and hardcore like Antioch Arrow.
Though often compared to bands like Death From Above 1979 because of their bass & drums lineup, the band is moving into a more psychedelic and garage sound and away from dance.
Their next show is at Backspace, Friday, February 5th. featuring newcomers Wizard Rifle, and – fresh from a European tour – veterans KidCrash.
