More than perhaps anyelectronic act in Seattle these guys have crossover potentialwritten all over them. Their songs are catchy their 8-bit sounds areinstantly familiar their visuals are a gag and they can kill a setbetween German DJs at Decibel just as easily as they can at a rock show(or in a parking lot for that matter). Stranger Personals. selectalternatives… Even worse was the lead singer’s weirdoverconfident banter which was less affable and funny than it wascheesy. peners Sleepy Eyes of Death lack any banter whatsoever—theirsmoke and color-lit stage goes dark and silent between songs—butthey make up for it with a fairly hypnotic live show.

Their show at Neumo’son Sunday was trance inducing the band’s slow-motion film ofexplosions and wilting flowers combining with the humid heat of thepacked room to make it feel like some sweat-lodge vision quest.
