A Music Blog

Hello to all of those folks that enjoy reading up on the latest High in One Eye news. This Evan bringing you all a blog about music that I believe the vast majority would like, and even if you don't like it at least you will have something to do within our fun page of nonsense.

Before I start posting about bands I would like to talk about Foburg fest and what my choice "picks" are for you to be checking out. I don't have the dates and times so if it interferes with the time we play disregard anything I say.

Okay....be sure to check out these bands/musicians: Davy Mooney (awesome jazz guitarist with an awesome band. He was a member of the Thelonious Monk Institute...need I say more?), Pumpkin (These guys are a funk post-punk band and I happen to work with the Singer/Guitarist/Keyboardist. Their influences range from Can, Lightning Bolt, Gary War, GY!BE, and many more I have not heard about, but you can hear it in the music. They are funny but their new stuff has a more serious hue to it. AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!), A Living Soundtrack (One of the most original bands in the city. I love these guys and gal and hope you all go out and experience one of the best instrumental bands in the South.)

So my top 3 list for Foburg fest consists of Davy Mooney, Pumpkin, and A Living Soundtrack.

Also check out Smiley with a Knife, Sun Hotel, Caddywhompus, and Dirty Bourbon River Show...gotta show the love for the loyola bands.

And be sure to disregard all of the above to see HIGH IN ONE EYE HIGH IN ONE EYE HIGH IN ONE EYE HIGH IN ONE EYE HIGH IN ONE EYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Now we shall venture to music that I believe all of you should be listening to if you aren't already. I don't want to go into too much detail but I may...I just don't want to do that all that much.

Blank Dogs - One Man Band that kicks complete ass. Very reminiscent of Chrome and Joy Division.

Blonde Redhead - If you don't listen to them already I have no idea what you have been doing for the past 3 years.

Don Caballero - They made High in One Eye with their album American Don....and they still have a full discography full of amazing stuff.

O. Lamm - Really intricate glitchy type music made by a French-man

Jane - Panda Bear's other band that is really cool

Gary War- Kind of like Blank Dogs but crazier

Wet Hair - band formed with members of Raccoo-oo-oon. Duo keyboard/synthesizers/other stuff and Drums

Peaking Lights - A lo-fi drone band with a girl singer and very pretty melodies

That Fucking Tank - Cool drum and guitar/bass duo that takes sounds like a Fucking Tank destroying your Fucking House.

Sore Eros - lo-fi pop music that is pretty good...not the best on the list but worth checking out, it may be your favorite.

Mikron 64 - All 8-bit German pop music

Halmens - Japanese pop band from the earlier 80s with awesome catchy melodies.

All of the music on the mutantsounds blogspot

Okay enough of that....here are some videos from a few of the bands but the rest you will have to look up yourself.


Gary War - Highspeed Drift


Blonde Redhead - Misery Is A Butterfly


O. Lamm - Genius Boy
