Geelong locals, The Living Eyes, are a rock band of sorts, blending their own version of melodic power pop and garage. Having just finished a four week European tour last December, the band started out in their teenage years as a strictly 60’s garage band, playing shows with Geelong friends. Seven years later the boys have grown up a bit and so has their music.
Releasing their debut LP in 2013 with Anti Fade followed by a second full-length record, Living Large, in 2015, the quartet are back with their third LP, Modern Living. The new album comes bearing a different sound to the previous two, taking references to artists like The Monochrome Set and The Troggs, but with of course the Australian influence of bands like The Sunnyboys and The Saints.
The Living Eyes stopped by for this Studio 5 Live session during their Australian album tour, including a stop off at The Tote Saturday February 3.
Listen back to Sunglasses After Dark for a live set from The Living Eyes. Studio 5 Live is proudly brought to you by Mountain Goat.
