Press:
"Propulsive, dynamic, and wholly unique, Eugene sextet Eleven Eyes might be Oregon's best-kept secret. Free-Jazz, Hip-hop and butt bumping funk collide head on in their sound, while the audience dances in the wreckage." Willamette Weekly - Portland, OR
"Not since the Cherry Poppin' Daddies and Floater has such as exciting, young, talented and unique band emerged from Oregon's fertile Willamette Valley. Eleven Eyes is a neo-psychedelic jazz septet with an excess of instrumental aptitude and creative sense." The Source - Bend, OR
"It's impossible to categorize Eugene's Eleven Eyes. Like Critters Buggin, the sextet mixes free-form jazz with modern grooves, creating a dizzying and intoxicating blend of music that will tickle your brain while it moves your tush. Percussion, horns, keyboards, samples, bass, guitar and various embellishments collide rather cosmically, making for a genuinely unique auditory experience that should be experienced in the flesh." Portland Tribune
