Go For the Eyes go slightly psychedelic

E-mail Print PDF

I didn’t want to miss the first show of the week from Calgary’s Go For the Eyes at the Owl Acoustic Lounge, so I left the sold out Pack A.D. show at the Slice to catch them.Elise Roller sings with Go For the Eyes, Oct. 4. Photo by Richard Amery
 

They were originally supposed to open for the Pack A.D, but had to content themselves with their own show. They’ve branched out since I last saw them, with new bassist Scott Perrin on board.

 They  have added a more late ’60s psychedelic edge to their sound.
 Keyboardist Elise Roller sang beautifully, giving them a Joan Jett meets Blondie sound. They played a tight and exciting set showing a range of their influences.

They played some different material including a disco influenced Beastie Boys cover as well as an interesting  version of the theme from “Space Jam.”
