Bright Eyes
It would be very silly if you missed Bright Eyes twice when they were in town. C'mon, they are right in front of you, you just need to look.
Overview
Here in Australia, we have a glasses shop called Bright Eyes, so every time I listen to or hear about Bright Eyes, I think of sexy guys on posters wearing Raybans. This wouldn't be so bad if I weren't denying myself the privilege of having Conor Oberst on my mind every time I heard “First Day of My Life” at every wedding ever.
It's hard to think that Bright Eyes have been creating music for over 15 years and have only toured Australia a handful of times. Conor and bandmates Mike Mogis and Nate Wallcott may be from Nebraska but they are definitely heard much further than their central roots, even if it took us a while to get to know their sound. And if you don't know what that is, it's acoustic, indie and lovely.
Speaking of getting to know them, Brisbane is lucky enough to have the godforsaken gift of a sideshow on the tail of Bright Eyes' slot at Harvest. We never get sideshows for anything, EVER, so it would be very silly if you missed Bright Eyes twice when they were in town. C'mon, they are right in front of you, you just need to look.
