First/Last-Lazyeyes

July 17, 2015

“Lazyeyes plays hazy, psych-tinged dreampop made up of swirling guitar melodies and reverb-drenched vocals. The band has previously shared stages with acts like Gringo Starr and Crocodiles, and their dynamic live set is a mix of upbeat, dance-worthy jams and pulsating slower songs.”

Lazyeyes is a Brooklyn shoegaze trio who are touring behind their latest release “New Year” and stop in Pittsburgh Saturday night (7/18) at Spirit in Lawrenceville with The Teen Age. I want to thank Jason Abrishami (Guitar/Vocals) for taking the time to participate in this edition of First/Last.

The first album you ever bought?

Sum 41 “Does This Look Infected?”

Your last album bought?

The War On Drugs “Lost in the Dream”.

Favorite album of all time?

My Bloody Valentine “Loveless”.

Least favorite/most disappointing album?

Metallica & Lou Reed “Lulu”.

First concert attended?

I saw Social Distortion perform at Tony Hawk’s Boom Boom Huck Jam when I was 12.

Last concert?

Ride at Terminal 5.

Favorite concert ever?

My Bloody Valentine.

Least favorite concert?

I once saw Bloc Party play and both the Guitar amps blew out during ‘Banquet’ and it was just Bass, Drums, and Vocals. It was a very confusing experience.

Any thoughts, experiences about Pittsburgh?

I’ve personally never been to Pittsburgh, but I hear nothing but great things! Hopefully we will have enough time to embrace the scenic view from Mount Washington.

Thanks, Jason. I have lived here my entire life and that view from Mount Washington never does get old.
