Review: The Lazy Eyes at the Newtown fesitval

If you can't already tell, I am crazy about the Lazy Eyes, a four piece band from Sydney. I first heard about these guys from friends who were already fans and saw them perform live for the for the first time at the Shoreshocked battle of the bands in February.

Last Sunday, I went to see them perform at the Newtown Festival. I knew they performed there last year so I checked the webiste to see if they would be performing again and was disappointed to see that their names were not on the list but the next day they said they were performing in a post on Facebook. I was happy and quickly messaged some friends and asked if they would like to come along with me and they said yes. It wouldn't have mattered if they had said no, I would have gone anyway!




Harvey, Itay, Blake and Noah put on an amazing performance! They strummed away on their guitars, danced and flipped their hair and sang so well. Whenever I watch them perform or see a video of them, I get the feeling that you can really have a fun time with them. They just look so happy, smiling during the performance. You can tell that they love what they do. Although we were in a park, it felt like we were at a huge party or a rock concert, with so many people standing in front of the stage, jumping up and down, dancing and jamming along. The boys' interaction with the crowd was awesome. There was a point in their last song 'Where's My Brain', where the music got softer, they got down low on the stage and had the audience do the same. Although I couldn't do that, I loved it. It kind of gives you the feeling that you are a part of the performance.



 


Their set ended all too quickly but I was glad I was able to be there and introduce my friend to a new band. She also enjoyed the performance and has just started following them on social media. I can see that they are slowly gaining more fans and I'm happy for them. The only negative thing about the set actually has nothing to do with any of the boys or the performance. It's just that I got hurt in the crowd. I was getting stepped on and pushed around so I had to move to the side, which was actually good because I had a better view and was able to record a video of their performance, but I ended up with a few scars. It was totally worth it!




If you are planning to go watch The Lazy Eyes perform, you should definately take some friends with you for a great day or night out. I suggest taking some water, bandaids, and panadol with you because it gets pretty crazy and, if you're a little one like me, try to stand somewhere out of the mosh pit to avoid being stepped on. That's also a good idea if you are claustrophobic.

These four guys are so talented and unique. I don't know any other bands like them. I don't know them very well and haven't met them but they seem to be fun-loving and have great personalities. The Lazy Eyes would be perfect to have play at a party or fun event. They have what it takes to be successful in the music industry. Whenever they release an EP, I will be first in line to buy it!



Follow them on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/thelazyeyesband/) and Instagram. I think everyone should check them out and go watch them perform at least once. Guys, congrats on a wonderful performance in Newtown. I hope to see you again soon.

Welcome back Justice Crew!

                                           Photo credit to @Justicecrewofficial Instagram Justice Crew are a dance and music group who won Australia's Got Talent in 2010 and went on to release many amazing songs including number one hits Boom Boom and Que Sera . After their tour in 2019, they took a long break and now they are back!  I have been a huge fan of them since the beginning and have been to a lot of their shows, so when they announced they were performing a show in February, of course I was excited and attended with my friend. There was a huge crowd there to see them, which surprised a few people, including maybe the guys themselves. After six years, they probably felt rusty, but they were actually amazing as always. It was so cool to see them on stage again and here all the hit songs the number ones and  Everybody. It's so crazy how even now, after six year...

Light in the Darkness

  We all carry a little darkness. Moments we don’t speak of. Storms We face. Shadows we walk through quietly.   But that doesn’t mean our light is gone.   Even on heavy days, when it feels like someone has punched us in the chest, or everything feels hopeless. We work. We care. We laugh. We create. We shine, like the brightest star in the sky.   No matter what happens today – even if it’s messy, or lonely, or full of tears - The sun will rise in the morning. Like it always does. Like we always do.   Because light doesn’t have to shout. Sometimes it just keeps showing up, quietly. One bright beam at a time.

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...
