Human Eye at Scion Garage Fest (more by Taylor Keahey)

Whats even better than a good show? A FREE good one. Detroit's Human Eye will team up with hot UK low-fi band Sex Beet to play a pair of free dates as part of the Scion Garage series. The dates include Knitting Factory in Brooklyn on November 17 and the Mohawk in Austin on November 18th. RSVP for free entry.

Human Eye was last seen (pun) in NYC during CMJ, when the Detroit band played a show at Live with Animals (same building as Monster Island and Secret Project Robot) alongside Golden Triangle, Greg Ashley Band, and TV Baby. They were also on the bill of the Scion Garage Fest that recently went down in Kansas. The two upcoming Scion dates are the only current tour dates for the band.

For Sex Beet, who were in NYC in September when they opened for Thee Oh Sees at Santos Party House, the Scion dates are their only current US dates as well, but they'll hit the road in late November with Best Coast & Spectrals for a string of dates on their home soil. Full tour dates, the NYC version of the Scion show flyer, and videos are below...

The Greenhornes 2007

After detours in The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather among other projects, The Greenhornes are back at it and will release their first LP of new material in eight years via Jack White's Third Man imprint. The record, entitled Four Stars, will be proceeded by select east coast dates that will include Mercury Lounge on 9/3 (free with RSVP) and Maxwell's on 9/4 with The Black Hollies (tickets) leading up to their appearance at ATP NY on 9/5 ("full" lineup).

A month later (on 10/2), The Greenhornes are confirmed for Scion Garage Fest 2010 in Lawrence, Kansas alongside a plethora of killer notables including The Oblivians (who recently played Knit), The Gories (who just played Bowery and toured with Oblivians), The Raveonettes (who are playing Bumbershoot), King Khan & The Shrines (who are playing Santos and Bell House), Best Coast (who just played the Seaport and like weed), Tyvek, Thee Oh Sees, Hunx & His Punx, and a ton of others.

Much like Scion Rock Fest, the show will take place across four venues and is FREE, but RSVP is required. Full lineup is below.

Some videos and the full Scion lineup & flyer is below...
