Two underground bands from the Baltimore, MD/Washington, D.C. cities’ collective music-and-arts scene– The Flying Eyes and Shark Week, have been fairly busy since the turn of 2013. Both bands thoroughly create loud, psych-tinged garage rock ‘n’ roll and have effortlessly established their names among the local ranks on the east coast (and for The Flying Eyes— across seas!). The best part is that these two bands deliver for their fans and Shark Week and The Flying Eyes are both expecting forthcoming releases soon, are sharing a billing, tonight in Washington D.C. at the Rock & Roll Hotel with other local bands, Joy Buttons and Dance for the Dying!
Shark Week
recently premiered a brand new music video at Brightest Young Things for new single, “Baby, Maybe”. The video and song were recorded on site in Puerto Rico during a small stint of shows back in mid-January. The band has also announced that they will be shooting some live footage tonight, so if you come out you could make it onto the big silverscreen!
The Flying Eyes
are on the verge of completing a new forthcoming LP! Last summer they launched a successful Kickstarter campaign to help fund the project. Now we are close to experiencing what will be The Flying Eyes‘ third full-length record, tentatively set for May 2013. Recently, the release was given the title “Lowlands”. They worked with Rob Girardi (Lord Baltimore Recording Studios) and mixing engineer, Chris “Frenchie” Smith, a renowned psych engineer based in Austin, Texas.
