Introducing The Voyeurs

The Voyeurs (South Bay, CA) I've known about The Voyeurs for quite some time now and have been waiting until I found the right time and the right words to talk about them. Today seems like the perfect day for such introductions. Most of you probably recognize them as former members of E>K>U>K and current side project Vaudeville. Its members are also the brains behind the burgeoning South Bay label Otik Records. Voyeurs drummer Sean Johnson and has also been spotted playing with the likes of Shirley Rolls and The Sweet Hurt and some of you may know them as the kickball champions with keen fashion sense. These guys are ubiquitous around town and are always down to help out a friend. I'm actually shocked that I haven't written about them before! The Voyeurs rose from the ashes of the now defunct pulse-pounding rock act E>K>U>K. Their music still displays the raw energy and catchy tunes that became an E>K>U>K trademark but takes the sound one step further with a FANTASTIC mix of 60s pop and down n' dirty classic rock. It's tunes like these that gets me excited about music again. Their songs are totally solid and show a great deal of promise. My personal favorite is "Things That People Say" which can be heard on the band's myspace page and the video posted below. The Voyeurs will be playing at Charlie O's TONIGHT with The Rolling Blackouts and The Lieutenants - who have been getting some airplay on Indie 103. Show starts at 9pm and is only $5. I have a prior engagement in the evening but I'm going to rush like hell to try and make it in time for The Voyeurs! The MP3 posted below is a demo. Head over to The Voyeurs myspace page to listen to more kick ass tracks that give you a sense of their sound.
