Bright Eyes Heads Out On Double Tour
by Anna Bulbrock | 00.00.0000

Bright Eyes have just released their new singles "Take It Easy (Love Nothing)" and "Lua," which debuted at #1 and #2, respectively, on the Billboard 100 Singles chart.

Not only did Bright Eyes release two simultaneous singles, but the group will be releasing two albums simultaneously: I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning and Digital Ash in a Digital Urn featuring such musical friends like Nick Zinner of Yeah Yeah Yeahs on Jan. 25 2005.

To top it all off, the group announced two separate 2005 tours--one in conjunction with each album. The I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning tour will consist of a slimmed down lineup consistent with the more acoustic sound of the album, with various guest artists.

For the Digital tour, Conor and crew have appropriately decided to have the Faint (fellow Saddle Creek artists) open for and back Bright Eyes.
