Bright Eyes, London

Bright Eyes biography

Bright Eyes is an indie rock band consisting of American singer, guitarist, and songwriter Conor Oberst, multi-instrumentalist/producer Mike Mogis, keyboard/trumpet player Nate Walcott, and a rotating lineup of collaborators drawn primarily from Omaha, Nebraska, United States's indie music scene. Having been deeply influenced early on by singer-songwriters David Dondero and Simon Joyner, Conor Oberst has been recording music since the age of 13. He released his first three albums at the ages of 13, 14, 15, respectively, all under the name "Conor Oberst" and released only on cassettes. He then moved onwards with a band called Commander Venus with whom he released two albums. After the break-up of this band in 1997, Conor's main focus became Bright Eyes, and in 1998 he released the first Bright Eyes album, A Collection of Songs Written and Recorded 1995-1997(a collection of 20 stockpiled songs) on the independent label Saddle Creek Records, which he had co-formed earlier in collaboration with fellow local Omaha musicians. On June 22, 2020, they released Down In The Weeds Where The World Once Was, their first album on Dead Oceans after a long history with Saddle Creek.
