PacTour/What Happens In Vegas Tour

PacTour dates are finally up and I can't wait to get back out on the
road. To kick things off Saosin asked us to play with them at our
favorite place in the world, Chain Reaction, on September 12th. From
there we will be hitting pretty much everywhere in the continental
U.S. and doing a lot of acoustic PacSun in-store performances along
the way. For a full list of tour dates, check our Myspace page.
Tickets are going on sale soon and they will sell out, so please get
them in advance.

Also, for those of you that missed our last tour, the What Happens in Vegas Tour, check out the video below to get a feel for all that went down on the tour. We had such a great time out at all the shows, and we know the PacTour is going to be just as much fun.

Can't wait to see you all again.
Much Love

Pac Sun Tour W/ Saosin

It’s official. Eye Alaska is going to be doing this years PacTour w/ Saosin! I really couldn’t be more excited about it. I grew up listening to Saosin and going to all their shows so to be going out with them is a dream come true.

Also Innerpartysystem and the rapper P.O.S. are going to be out with us. I’m so excited about the diversity of the lineup. Again, I always say it, but it just proves that the Genre is a thing of the past in the music of the future.

It all just goes to show that if you want it bad enough you can get it. Don’t let anyone ever tell you otherwise.

This is only the beginning

Genesis Underground is Out Now!

As you may know "Genesis Underground" is finally here. For me, and all of Eye Alaska, this means a lot of things are about to change. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Change is my drug of choice. I need that constant sway to keep me on my toes. To keep me truly alive.

This last year getting signed, being on tour, making a record have opened up my eyes to a world that needs change. Musically, but most of all personally. We’ve been given this platform, this chance to have a voice, and however big that platform may be, we want to use it. A lot of bands are so concerned with being "rockstars" that they forget they have a chance to make a difference in people's lives.

This album may take a couple listens for some people to understand, but when people DO get it there is a connection on another level. Eye Alaska is about so much more than music and I hope people can see that vision.

I'm excited to start the journey with all of you.

Thank you for believing and understanding

Much Love -brandon
