In November, we did an interview with a lovely bunch of people known as The Will To Power. It was an exciting experience for us as a band as it marks our first “official” interview. The questions were a pleasure to answer, and knowing that people like Robin, Werner, Bernard, C.F & Maaike were behind it, just made it that much more enjoyable, so THANK YOU to everyone who made it possible!

Our next show is going down this Friday at The Woods! The girls from 2InTwine are building up a reputation for organising some of the most fun, super-sweet parties Johannesburg has to offer and this Friday promises to be no different!
Jason Sutherland, our guitarist, has JUST released his debut solo album. He now goes under the moniker ‘Jaysynth’ - a unique approach to electronic post-rock. Once there was ‘On Travel’, a luscious mixture between minimal ambience and dreamy post-rock. Originally a bedroom side project created by Jason in his spare time away from Eyes Like Mirrors. After a year of studying sound engineering he felt that something needed to change, unsatisfied with his past effort ‘On Travel’, he decided to spark his creativity with something new and unique. Redefining his sound with synthesizers - thus, Jaysynth was born.
