Eyes Everywhere, Buffalo's own Kyle Tatum and Brian Doyle, have been growing as a DJ duo since producing in the dorm room at Canisius College, playing Communist Parties, Queen City Cartel events and opening acts for big names at the city's major venues. These fellas have played out and about around Buffalo, Rochester and have traveled a bit across New York state lines. Their sound has evolved and spans unlimited multi-genres from fidget electro, to heavy dubstep and drumstep, booty bass to house.

Today, the highly-acclaimed Fool's Gold Records, a product of DJs A-Track and Nick Catchdubs, released Eyes Everywhere's track, "Off Bailey," through Fool's Gold Clubhouse.

"We wrote 'Off Bailey' a little over a year ago. The song got its name from Bailey Avenue, where Kyle lived and our studio was located. We aimed to capture the feeling of Buffalo’s poverty highway for all of it’s ups and downs. We started to experiment with incorporating elements of hip hop and trap into our house regimen. It’s been a style that has stuck with our production all year," Doyle said. "The song got sent to Fool’s Gold – actually, Nick Catchdubs, - in February last year, along with a few other tracks that are going to be released via Dirtybird Co-Founder Worthy’s Anabatic [Records] imprint. Catchdubs actually didn’t respond to us until the day we got back from DEMF last year, which was the very end of May. Worthy didn’t get back to us until July. I don’t have any idea how they dug that deep into their inbox to find our music, but we are certainly grateful."



"As our first major release with this project, this is such a huge one for us. Honestly couldn't be more grateful," Tatum said. "Shouts to Catchdubs and Fool's Gold for putting us on. Feels really, really good for this one to be out, especially since it's a tune about the city."

Hustling on into the future, this spring Los Angeles-based label Perfect Driver Music will be dropping an Eyes Everywhere track called “Poppers." Plus, coming soon with warm weather, the two artists will be breathing some new life into the 716.


"Keep your eyes open for a warehouse we are getting in the First Ward," Doyle mentioned. "It’ll be a center for electronic music and large scale visual art." With a projected live date in either April or May, he said the building will house studios for them and a couple other big Buffalo producers; three rooms will be used to hold art and music exhibitions.

"And since it always seems a mystery, we got our name from an Every Time I Die song, because there is no reason you shouldn't mix hardcore and booty house," Doyle said.

Lyrically inspired by his Detroit roots, rapper Danny Brown refuses to be anything but himself.  After touring with G-Unit in 2010, he felt unaccepted for his hipster-esque style and the thug appearance made him less then thrilled.  By breaking free of the audience image trap that many musicians fall into and expanding his style to a deviation from the "norm", he was soon recognized for his unique qualities and picked up by Fool's Gold Records.

His voice is distinct and possibly only for an acquired taste but there is no doubt that his diversity is noteworthy.  His rhymes can range from explicitly drug induced and sex crazed, to stories from his hauntingly meaningful journey struggling thought his youth in Detroit, Michigan.  His musical influences include progressive rock and UK grime with inspiration from Joker, a prominent grime and dubstep producer.    

If there's one thing Danny Brown is, it's honest.  During Pitchfork's +1 exclusive interview(Brown will also be playing Pitchfork's festival in July), he pulled out a canister of MDMA and in an interview with MTV he admits that he developed a drug habit as he became more involved in the music industry.  Not at all ashamed of entering his 30s, his recently released album XXX is an ode to his birthday and not feeding into the industrial desire for artists to be youthfully prime.   

So tonight when you're getting ready to head to Childish Gambino, if you were lucky enough to get tickets before it sold out, don't fall into the "eh, we can skip the opener" mind trap.

Doors open 7 pm at Town Ballroom (681 Main Street).
