The group’s last visit to the UK came back in May of last year, where they played The Great Escape Festival in Brighton and five other headline shows throughout England, supporting, in the process, the release of their debut album, Songbook.
Songbook, which was released on April 21st last year via The Orchard, was met with widespread favourable reviews, with Atwood magazine labelling it “An enchanting tapestry of colorful, psychedelic sonic wonder ready to whisk us into a radiant, groovy daydream“.

The record remains the group’s only album release to date, but with the abundance of creativity that presides in it, fans and critics alike can expect to be hearing a lot more of the Sydney band in the near future, particularly if The Lazy Eyes can not only meet their clear inspiration in fellow Australian psychedelic rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard in musical prowess and creativity but also in productivity, given the aforementioned has released a staggeringly prolific 23 studio albums in 11 years, with another, PetroDragonic Apocalyse, scheduled to be released later this week.
The Lazy Eyes were formed in 2015 in Sydney, Australia, whilst the band members were schoolmates at Newtown High School of the Performing Arts. The lineup consists of Harvey Geraghty (vocals, guitar, keyboard), Itay Shachar (vocals, guitar), Leon Karagic (bass) and Noah Martin (drums).
The latest psychedelic rock band to come out of Australia have sold out shows wherever they go and, similarly to King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard and their Gizzfest, have their very festival, Lazyfest, which they founded in 2021. The Sydney psych-rock outfit are regularly found on Triple J, an Australian alternative music radio station, and recently covered the Bee Gees’ “More Than A Woman” on the station’s Like A Version segment, whilst also performing their own track “Fuzz Jam“.

Whilst this second visit to the UK for the Aussie psych-rock outfit only has one show in store for fans, the band’s continual growth in popularity here in Europe will surely see them visit the other side of the world more often. Indeed, for psychedelic rock fans, our prayers will surely be answered.
