Sunday, March 4: Big Eyes

Le Voyeur

By Volcano Staff on February 29, 2012

As we mentioned in January when the band performed at Tahoma Tea and Co., Big Eyes is a VERY catchy band. We noted how the band's penchant for driving guitars and the rough female vocals make Big Eyes something more than just a run-of-the-mill garage rock act. We even pointed out how elements of the Breeders and the Ramones run through the music of Big Eyes, but the band somehow manages to sound quintessentially like itself. Almost two months later, it's all still true. There's still power in those hooks, weight in those chunky riffs. Sunday, Big Eyes plays Le Voyeur in Olympia with ascending garage-punkers Hey Girl and headliner Criminal Code. - Weekly Volcano
