Happy Magazine

Following yesterday's Splendour In The Grass addition, Sydney four-piece The Lazy Eyes announce their Cheesy Love Song Tour this March. See the dates and details below.

The tour dates follow a lightning start for the young band who released their debut single ‘Cheesy Love Song’ earlier in Jan. Premiering on triple j, the track went to receive radio playlist additions and support from the likes of triple j UnearthedFBi RadioSYN Radio and Matt Wilkinson (Beats1), praise from NME Australia, i-D MagazineThe Line of Best FitClash Music and more and playlisting on Spotify and Apple Music across New Music Friday ANZIndie ArrivalsFront LeftLoremUntitledNew Music Daily, culminating to over 250,000+ online streams to date. In this short time, the band has also played to a packed crowd at Laneway Festival in Sydney and has been announced on Farmer & The OwlSXSWThe Great Escape and Splendour In The Grass later this year - all of this proving the band to be an invigorating and promising addition to the second-generation of Australia’s burgeoning psych-rock scene right now. 

Harvey (vocals, guitar, keys), Itay (vocals, guitar), Blake (bass) and Noah (drums) have been playing together since they were 15, having met each other while attending the local performing arts high school. In between then and now, news of the band’s playfully jam-filled and constantly morphing live show has spread throughout their home city like word-of-mouth wildfire, building up a fervent, cult following.

Now done with high school, and with their debut track ‘Cheesy Love Song’ under their belt, The Lazy Eyes are finally ready to share themselves with the wider world.
