	Bright Eyes (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bright Eyes is an indie rock band formed in 1995 in Omaha, Nebraska.
		During the 2004 election season, Bright Eyes toured with Bruce Springsteen and R.E.M. on the MoveOn.org "Vote for Change" tour, further pushing him into the public eye.
		On May 5, 2005 Bright Eyes appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and performed the protest song "When the President Talks to God", a scathing rebuke of the Bush administration giving him a thrust politically into the mainstream and public spotlight.

	Tucson Weekly: Is Loud The New Quiet? (February 7 - February 13, 2002)
		One of the finest of the more recent practitioners of the Q as NL idea is Bright Eyes, a band comprised of Omaha, Nebraska's Conor Oberst and whomever else he chooses to record/perform with at any given time, and a band that's currently on hold.
		Bright Eyes' last full-length, 2000's Fevers and Mirrors (Saddle Creek), was widely --and rightfully -- hailed by critics as one of that year's best releases, and by that point the touring version of Bright Eyes had matured into a solid live act as well, as evidenced by an appearance at Solar Culture that same year.
		A Bright Eyes song carries so much sadness you think Oberst might break down in tears at any moment, but a Desaparecidos song channels that intensity into the observational realm, so much so that it sounds like his head could explode if he has to lay eyes on another goddam Burger King.

		The last time Bright Eyes played in Nashville was in the summer of 1999, and a lot has changed in the three years since.
		Bright Eyes has signed a publishing deal with Sony, released a third full-length and two EPs (all highly acclaimed), and toured the U.S., Europe and Asia many times over.
		The Rage caught up with the three bands in the middle of Ohio, where they were casually making their way up to a handful of shows along the East Coast, including two shows at New York's Bowery Ballroom as well as the 850-capacity Sommerville Theater in Boston, all of which have been completely sold out.

		As the mastermind behind the acclaimed Bright Eyes collective, Oberst?s genius is found in a pretense-free, orchestral approach to songwriting.
		The Bright Eyes tour in spring of 2002 saw Oberst take the stage in a powder blue suit, surrounded by six beautiful female musicians, his sense of bona fide showmanship entrancing his audience.
		On Bright Eyes' 1998 release 'A Collection of songs...' it was clearly evident to me through the static and low-fidelity recordings that a brilliant songwriter was emerging.

		Coco Rosie is okay to me, but Bright eyes doesnt do it for me. If everyone had the same taste in everything and diversity was non exsistent, their would be abunch of robots walkin around on this planet.
		I've loved Bright Eyes ever since i've heard them a while back and they continue to amaze me. Conor is truely gifted in his songwriting and his creativity not only shows through in HIS music but all the other bands that he puts on his record label Saddle Creek.
		Bright Eyes did not play Haliegh Haliegh, a Lie Haliegh or Sunrise Sunset despite the fact that me and 5 other people were yelling at them to do so.

		He shed no tears, his eyes were cold as ever, blue glaciers, unable to show the sheer depth of emotion inside.
		She stood up, eyes red as his must have been once and walked to his father, kneeling in front of him.
		Her eyes were wide with grief, the images of the dark that their lost one feared flashing in both their winds.

		Bright Eyes has to have the most polarized group of critic and fans.
		When it came time for the solo acoustic numbers like "Lua", the band would disappear and Conor would inhabit the stage with his guitar and a strange confidence that most 24 year olds are still searching for.
		By the time the rest of the band returns and the trumpet kicks in with the beginning of Beethoven's "Ode to Joy", you could tell this wasn"t going to be a classical piece.

		Bright Eyes took several long breaks in between songs to talk and joke amongst themselves, completely ignoring the fact that a sold-out crowd was watching their every move.
		Bright Eyes' songs have been stuck in my head ever since the show, his albums are the only ones I can listen to, and his lyrics are the only ones running through my head.
		Bright Eyes may have put on an incredible performance, but unfortunately opening acts Arab Strap and Jesse Harris weren't up to par.

		Ask any band that's worked with him, and they'll tell you Mogis' input both in the studio or during the mixing process played a big part in making their records better than they ever dreamed they could be.
		Unlike Bright Eyes, which consists of a rotating line-up of players centered around Oberst, Desaparecidos is a true band with a solid, faithful lineup Oberst hopes the forced shut-down doesn't cause resentment.
		I really enjoy playing in that band, but there are only so many places I can be at once, and Bright Eyes is something that is necessary for me as a person to do.

		Bright Eyes fans have seen the band maturing with their sound greatly from disc to disc, as 2002’s Lifted was less personal and bigger in production than their previous efforts.
		Bright Eyes continue to put out quality material and their section of this disc will just make you anticipate the full length, slated for release late this year, even more.
		Bright Eyes is definitely an untalented and wasteful young man, but supposedly therein lies the charm.

	REM and Bright Eyes - Reviews - www.theage.com.au
		REM, which grew from a small rock band revered by college kids in their home town of Athens, Georgia, to be one of the biggest bands in the world, have chosen brilliant emerging songwriter Bright Eyes for this tour.
		While Bright Eyes, aka 24-year-old balladeer Conor Oberst, has recently released one of the most lauded albums of the year in I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning, REM's recent 13th album, Around the Sun, captures the sound of a once mighty band in a reflective mood - and some would say on the wane.
		It is Bright Eyes whose star is rising, being hailed as "the new Bob Dylan" no less, and he looks set to mimic REM's meteoric rise from indie darlings to a bona fide superstar.

		This tour is the first time she's ever had hotel rooms on the road, she says -- customarily, her bands finish the show by asking the audience for a floor to sleep on.
		Then the flute player tells them that it's time to unload the equipment, and all fourteen members of Bright Eyes go to work, carrying keyboards and cellos and vibraphones into the Engine Room, the Houston club where they're playing tonight.
		Bright Eyes is the name of whatever band Conor Oberst happens to be performing with at any given moment, pouring out his astonishing flood of words, reminiscent of rock logorrheics such as Morrissey and the young Bruce Springsteen.

		For this part of his tour, he is leading his folk-rock band and concentrating on songs from "I'm Wide Awake": he plans to perform songs from "Digital Ash" with the electro-rock band the Faint, also from Omaha.
		Perhaps to make Bright Eyes sound extra guileless, the two opening acts were arty contrivances: Tilly and the Wall, playing mock-innocent guitar-strumming pop with tapdancing for percussion, and Coco Rose, conjuring a spooky introspection with singsong tunes, nattering electronics, video projections and inscrutable performance bits.
		Bright Eyes plays tonight at Town Hall in Manhattan, tomorrow night at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia and Saturday night at the 9:30 Club in Washington.

	Bright Eyes: Lifted ---Ink Blot Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		His entity known as Bright Eyes is not so much a band as it is the 22-year-old fronting whatever musicians he has surrounded himself with at the time; it has previously consisted of Oberst and an accordion player, Oberst and six women, and Oberst and 14 ragtag orchestral 20-somethings.
		True, Bright Eyes' latest album, Lifted or The Story is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground does contain its fair share of religious questioning, but you get the feeling that come judgment day any omnipresent spirit would be on his side.
		Oberst's voice furiously prods the insecurities shared by generations of post-adolescents trying to make sense of the adult world, but he also infuses his figurative laments with a melancholy earnestness, communicating a more gut-wrenching breed of angst than the Limp Bizkits and Eminems of the world could ever hope to.
