SXSW Band of the Day: The White Eyes
From: Taipei City, Taiwan
Online: thewhiteeyes.com
In 50 words or fewer: Taiwanese post-punk that stylistically whiplashes between grungey thrash and highly melodic indie noise. Female lead Gao Xiao-gao is equally captivating spinning sultry swells through synthesizer swirls as she is unleashing wicked shrieks over furious guitars.
Could share a bill with: Peelander-Z, Sonic Youth, Ume
Impolite, perhaps? The band takes its name from a Tawainese expression for people who say aloud embarrassing and apparently unspeakable things.
