The indie rock stalwarts celebrated the 21st anniversary of albums “I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning” and “Digital Ash in a Digital Urn" at the iconic LA venue.
We are, for better or worse (and, let’s be honest, it’s the worst) reliving the early 2000s. Wars of our own making, a faltering economy, and a leader that’s leading us…where, exactly? With that, though, we’ve at least been able to celebrate some of the best music of that otherwise sketchy period.
Depending on who you ask, Bright Eyes are either the kind of band who you’ll travel around the countryside to see repeatedly, or they’re the kind of band whose live performances made you dislike the band — or worse, feel like the musician onstage should take a break from performing.
