Lazy Eye — Live From The Surf Cave

Lazy Eye was pretty different from everything else that came out of Charlottesville. Sam and I had always had a love of surf, but that's sort of a hard thing to incorporate in hardcore unless you set out to do so from the beginning. After Shin Kick ended and neither of us had much going on, Sam played me a few of his surf lines and we decided to get the ball rolling. This is what came of it.

During the couple of months that Lazy Eye was an actual band, we got a few sweet riffs out. This was actually a practice sesh that we recorded to see how we sounded, with plans to do a more intensive demo later. However, seeing as how this is all we've got, I figure I might as well put it up. It was recorded on Sam's little box, which is roundabouts of the size of a deck of cards, so sound quality isn't perfect... but it is pretty damn good for being recorded on a little box in the center of the room. This is four of our earliest songs, plus a hilariously bad rendition of Wipeout by the Ventures. We weren't too practiced by this point, and everything's at least a little rough — but I think that's part of what makes this music great. Fuck perfection, just feel the currents... man.

Lazy Eye - 2009

Sam — Guitar

Marley — Bass

Slagle — Drums

The other follow-up to Shin Kick, along with Total Wreck. Sam and I thought it would be cool to play some surf, and ended up creating an instrumental punk band with Slagle, a friend from back in high school. Simple songs, lots of reverb, a few Ventures covers, and three shows later, it was all over.
