Doteyes is a part-time producer, sometimes DJ, occasional multi-instrumentalist and full time computer nerd whose musical tastes and output varies from electronic beats to tragic 80's hip-pop mashups.

Armed with a laptop, an APC40 and numerous musicky gadgets, Doteyes has been playing shows up and down the country since 2008. After a wee stint in Melbourne (and back again) Doteyes is currently working on his debut album, three years after the release of his first self-titled EP.

Dream pop soundtracks to films that don't exist.

In a nameless city deluged by a continuous rain ... 

... we attempt to craft beauty from experimentation and happy accidents expressed through a contorted web of drones and swelling dynamics ...

"pick[ing] up the discarded flag of the ethereal movement, which peaked in the early nineties and is best epitomized by the work of the C’est la Mort and Hyperium labels" 
(Richard Allen, A Closer Listen)

The band described themselves as “pasty individuals with an aversion to soaring summer temperatures hid in a studio and wrote some music to prevent themselves from being burnt to a cinder.”

The improvisational band features Mr Mortus (Nick Johnston from Sora Shima on keys), Miss Fires (Lauren K.B-guitar) and the Flaming Growlers (Stan Jagger from The Holllow Grinders on drums and Don Smith from Der Kranks on violin).  Everything is improvised and recorded on the spot, on the day.

Underworld are Rick Smith and Karl Hyde. Their peerless first album - dubnobasswithmyheadman - was released to universal acclaim in 1994. In the thirty years since that mould breaking debut, the band have established their reputation as one of the most groundbreaking and important electronic acts of all time, one that constantly pushes creative boundaries, twists genres and refuses to stay still. In those thirty years, their music has soundtracked approximately 100,000,000 nights out, and the mornings after. In the past year alone, Underworld have played live in front of over half a million people all across the globe.
