The Lazy Eyes were formed in Sydney as an indie rock band by Harvey "Karate" Geraghty (vocals, guitar, keyboard), Blake Wise (bass guitar), Noah Martin (drums) and Itay "Sasha" Shachar (vocals, guitar).[1][2] They had all attended Newtown High School of the Performing Arts.[3] The group's name references Beach House's 2015 album track "Common Girl"'s lyrics, "She's the one with the lazy eye."[3] Leon Karagic replaced Wise on bass guitar.[1][3]
One of their early performances was at the BigSound festival in 2019.[3] Their debut single "Cheesy Love Song" appeared in January 2020.[3] It was followed by a three-track extended play, EP1, in June.[4] Their second three-track EP2 appeared in July 2021.[5]
The Lazy Eyes released their debut studio album SongBook in 2022 via The Orchard,[6][7] receiving a 9/10 review from Clash Magazine,[8] 3/5 from NME[9] while receiving praise from Spin Magazine.[10]
Their track "Fuzz Jam" was added to full rotation on national youth radio Triple J,[11] becoming the No. 1 most played track for November 2021 and was performed on the "Like a Version" segment in September 2022.[12] They also covered Bee Gees' "More Than a Woman" during the same session.[13]
The group sold out headline shows in Australia,[14] United States[15] and United Kingdom.[16] They performed at St. Jerome's Laneway Festival (Australia), The Great Escape Festival (UK), Splendour in the Grass (Australia) and Hipnosis Festival (Mexico), as well as supporting the Strokes.[17] The Lazy Eyes started their own festival, Lazyfest in 2021.[18]
