D.C. rhythm punks Black Eyes are packing up both drum sets and hauling over to Europe in support of their self-titled Dischord debut. Produced by Ian MacKaye, the dense, polyrhythmic, hardcore Black Eyes asserts the band, along with Q and not U, as one of Dischord's (and punk rock's) most promising new artists. The Black Eyes' five members all share duty on percussion and vocals, and include those class guitars and keyboards. The band are known for their frantic live shows, swapping instruments and calling on audience members to expand their percussive sound. See them in Europe, or ride out the wait until their next U.S. tour. Dates:
