Beloved art-punk band from D.C. reunite for their first show in nearly 20 years.
Last night, DC post-hardcore/art punk vets Black Eyes reunited for their first shows in nearly 20 years, playing a sold out show in NYC at Market Hotel.
Black Eyes—featuring singers Hugh McElroy and Daniel Martin-McCormick, drummers Mike Kanin and Dan Caldas, and bassist-turned-saxophonist Jacob Long—disbanded back in 2004 just two months before releasing their second and final album, Cough. To celebrate the upcoming shows, Dischord Records is reissuing their s/t album Black Eyes on vinyl for the first time.
Long known for their wild live shows and frenetic energy, Black Eyes played to a sold-out crowd inside Market Hotel with the adjacent subway rolling by. Opening support came from NYC’s Trophy Hunt and DC’s Blacks Myths.
Lucky for us, photos were captured by Qbertplaya. Check out the full gallery below.
