Bio: Emerging from the suburbs of Los Angeles known as the South Bay, The Voyeurs are an energetic and melodic pop/rock duo with an upbeat and ... (more)
harmonic sound reflecting a wide pantheon of influential bands from the 60s British Invasion and mod rock era, all the way through now.
In late 2007, their previous band, E>K>U>K parted ways and two of the four members decided to start fresh with a new band. With a clean slate, The Voyeurs began writing songs in a more fluid, cohesive matter. While E>K>U>K had a more raw, hard rock approach, The Voyeurs put more emphasis on songwriting with strong melodies.
Riding off some of the success garnered from E>K>U>K, The Voyeurs have been warmly received from their long-time fans playing after recent shows in Los Angeles and the South Bay. The band has also benefited from the success of various side projects. Drummer Sean Johnson recently toured with Ironworks Records act HoneyHoney as well as performed alongside many up-and-coming Los Angeles bands. Singer Jonathan Hylander recently worked with Benmont Tench (Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers) on a side project called The Mind Blasters. Johnson and Hylander are also members of the local retro rockers Vaudeville.
A new, self-titled EP/CD is available online and at shows. The band continues to work on new material recording out of their fully equipped studio in Manhattan Beach, CA with a full-length album expected by the end of the year.
