“…and one might be confused by the sensation of one foot being immersed in wet sand, while the other feels like your vans are sticking to a whiskey-stained concrete floor.”

Original songwriting that romanticizes revelry and heartbreak, while offering a keen self awareness. Gary Lazer Eyes is the high of a good time, but also the comedown. Their vibrant live performances are a passionate exhibition of these tunes, peppered with tasteful covers ranging from southern rock to bachelorette party anthems, soulfully delivered in their beachy alternative sound.

BIO:

Born in 2015 amidst the chaos of hosting our first DIY music/art events (as well as our dwindling academic careers). We managed to get our shit together the following year. Gary Lazer Eyes began as nothing more than a seemingly endless debaucherous experience, slowly proved to be a rewarding creative outlet as well. Touring around Florida and the eastern half of America in a short bus (RIP Bertha) has enabled us to perform our original music on a variety of stages - from strangers' living rooms, to the main stage at music festivals - from red light district basement bars, to a bowling alley in Pittsburgh (that we're pretty sure was a front for something illegal). Ranging from reckless to introspective, our tunes are reveries of revelry and the constant onslaught of experiences that we’re lucky enough to have thrown at us.
