When indie-rock outfit Many Eyes dropped a new Instagram image this week, fans were quick to flood the comments with excitement. The black-and-white photo, shot by Fallon The Turtlee Photography, shows the band mid-performance under moody stage lights, instruments raised as the audience leans in, headphones off and eyes glued to the stage. Captioned “When the people are listening, live 🔥,” the post underscores how the group has become a fixture on intimate club circuits.
Stage Snapshot: Capturing The Moment
In the featured image, lead vocalist and guitarist Riley Brooks is caught in a moment of pure focus, one foot planted on a monitor, as synth player Jordan Kim echoes him from the shadows. Behind them, drummer Nicky Bellmore launches into a rapid-fire beat while bassist Ava Martinez locks in the groove. The visual grit of the shot—grainy film texture, backlit outlines and blurred motion—mirrors the raw edge of Many Eyes’ sound.
Shot by @fallon_the_turtlee_photography, the image conveys the magnetic pull of a live show. “When we saw the final frame, we knew it captured exactly why we love performing,” Brooks commented in the Instagram thread. “It’s about connection—when people stop scrolling and just listen.”
From The Light Age To Live Stages
The post comes roughly eight months after Many Eyes released their debut full-length album, The Light Age. Back in January, the band invited fans to share which tracks resonated most by posting a throwback photo from the studio and asking, “What songs would you like to hear live on our next tour?” Responses ranged from the atmospheric opener “Bright Skies” to the punchy closer “Embers.”
With The Light Age climbing streaming playlists and earning praise for its blend of shoegaze textures and indie-pop hooks, Many Eyes have steadily built their reputation. Earlier this month, they teased a music video for the album’s breakout single and restocked their merch store with limited-edition vinyl prints and t-shirts pulled straight from their tour wardrobe.
On Instagram, the band has kept engagement high by sharing candid backstage snaps and soliciting venue suggestions from followers. One recent story simply read, “We’re missing the stages… where should we perform next?” That interactive approach has helped them tailor setlists and choose cities for their upcoming concerts.
Looking Ahead: Tour News
While exact dates are still being finalized, Many Eyes have confirmed they’ll hit key markets in spring 2025. A marquee show is slated for The Marquis Theatre in Denver on March 30, with San Francisco and Austin among the rumored stops. Special guests for Denver include Lucked Out HC and As We Rise Official.
“We can’t wait to bring The Light Age to a new audience,” says Martinez. “Playing live is where these songs truly come alive—it’s a whole other dimension.”
Drummer Bellmore, tagged in a recent post, hinted at fresh material arriving before the tour kicks off. In a photo showing her behind the drum kit, she teased, “Performing live 2025—stay tuned.” Fans are already speculating that Many Eyes might debut unreleased tracks during soundchecks.
By blending visual storytelling on social platforms with a hands-on approach to fan feedback, Many Eyes are carving out a space in the competitive indie scene. The new live shot not only celebrates past milestones but also sets the stage for what’s next: a full-throttle tour that promises to be as dynamic and immersive as the image itself.
Whether you’re a longtime follower or discovering them for the first time, the latest Instagram glimpse leaves no doubt: Many Eyes are listening to their fans, and their performances are only getting bigger.
