We really like Ethan Teel also known as Owl-Eyes. Teel sings, plays guitar, bass, drums, and is a lyricist, following in the steps of Foo’s frontman David Grohl. He cites The Flaming Lips, Radiohead, The Kinks, all the way down to Slipknot as influences. Ethan Teel also plays regularly in several other bands and can be seen playing live in Kansas City and other Missouri towns. Upcoming shows can be viewer here.
