Hello!
A lot of you know that I love music and enjoy going to concerts, I have been to so many in the last few years. My favourite genre of music is pop but lately I have been keen to listen to different types. In this post, I am going to tell you about a new band I saw earlier this year.
The Lazy Eyes are an alternative/psychedelic rock band consisting of four members - Harvey (Singer and guitar) Itay (singer and guitar), Blake (Bass), and Noah (Drums) who are all in year 11 at Newtown High School of the Performing Arts.
I first heard about these guys from friends who were already fans. They had been talking about this band so much that I just had to check them out on social media. I watched a few videos of them performing and, surprisingly, I actually liked what I heard and saw so then I wanted to see them live so I liked their Facebook page and waited for an event to be posted.
On the evening of February 24, I saw them at Shoreshocked Battle of the Bands, an event showcasing some of the best bands Australia has to offer.
I rushed home from work, got changed and booked a taxi to Mona Vale Memorial Hall where the event was being held. There are no trains directly to Mona Vale and, at the time, I wasn't sure how else I could get there so the taxi was my best option as I didn't have a lot of time. Mona Vale is very far away from where I live so I had been thinking all day about whether I should just wait for another performance closer to my area but I was keen to go out and enjoy some music that night. As it was Friday afternoon, there was a lot of traffic, which I didn't think about when I decided to go, so an already long ride was even longer. We got caught to the traffic very quickly and must have stopped at each light for about twenty minutes.
The event started at 6pm so I got into the taxi at 3.30pm but didn't get to the venue till 6.30pm. To be honest, I went all the way there just to see The Lazy Eyes. I thought I was going to miss their performance but luckily, when I walked in, they were on stage sound checking. I had brought my DSLR camera to try to take some really good photos of them but while the boys were sound checking, I was taking test shots and it wasn't working well so I just used my phone. A few minutes later they were on.
They are all so talented! I really enjoyed the performance. Watching them up there, I could tell that they are so passionate about what they do. Harvey, Blake and Itay have long hair which reminds me of those bands from the 80's such as KISS and Bon Jovi. To me, having long hair seems to fit perfectly for people in rock bands. They were banging their heads as they were playing, getting really into the music. They made me feel like dancing along! Noah was awesome on the drums! I looked around at all the other people there watching and they were all loving it. It felt like I was at a rock concert. Just as I was getting really into it, the performance ended. I wished they could have performed one more song, it was amazing!
When they walked off the stage I waited to watch the next band. A little later I saw Noah in front of me. The other boys joined him to watch and I saw a young boy and an older man who must have been his dad go up to talk to Harvey. The boy shook his hand, it was so sweet. I wanted to go up to say hi and tell them that I loved their performance but I was too nervous but I know they are nice. Sitting and traffic and spending so much money on a taxi to Mona Vale was worth it. I had fun.
The Lazy Eyes are very cool! They must work very hard everyday to perfect their craft. The boys are studying at one of Australia's leading performing arts schools which I'm sure helps them a lot. They're only 16 or 17 and are already so good so imagine how amazing they will be when they are older. I am not on expert on music but that's how I feel. I can imagine them on stage in a large stadium with lights and smoke, very cool!
Hopefully I can see them perform again soon, maybe somewhere closer to home and if they ever release an album, I would buy it.
Congratulations Harvey, Blake, Itay and Noah. You have achieved a lot already and so many people are proud of you. Keep up the great work and I am sure you will have a successful career in music, if that's what you want. I hope to see you again soon.
