Hilly Eye

Konichiwa! I'm Amy and I'm a musician and writer living in Brooklyn, New York. It's nice to meet you!

Right now, I play guitar and violin in Titus Andronicus.
I sing my own psych-folk songs under the name Solanin.
I am in a two-girl noisy rock band called hilly eye with my friend Catherine.
I am very happy to be sharing my life with people all over the world!

The above introduction comes from Amy Klein's blog. Her Hilly Eye project played a pair of NYC shows over the weekend including the Kathleen Hannah benefit at Knitting Factory (12/11) and Bruar Falls (12/12) last night with La Boum, Celebrated Tigers, and Delta Hotel. Pictures from the latter adorn this post.

Hilly Eye will play Cake Shop tonight (12/13) with The Facts We Hate and Queening. and if you want to get familiar before the show, check out their EP which is available for a name-your-price download via Bandcamp. You can also stream that EP in full while checking out pictures from Bruar Falls (both are below).
