Bright Eyes Ringtones for Mobile Phones
Bright Eyes is a current American band which consists of singer, songwriter and guitarist Conor Oberst, instrumentalist and producer Mike Mogis, Nate Walcott, and a rotating group of different collaborators, drawn primarily from the indie music scene of Omaha. While Bright Eyes remains signed to the independent label Saddle Creek Records, the band enjoys mainstream popularity that rivals that of their major label contemporaries - the singles "Lua" and "Take it easy or love nothing" in 2004 took the top two spots of the "Hot 100 singles sales" chart of Billboard within two weeks of their simultaneous release. Bright Eyes started as a side project of Conor Oberst while he was the frontman for the indie rock outfit "Commander venus", which featured also Tim Kasher who later went on to form the band "Cursive". Though the band remained his primary focus between the years 1995 and 1997, Oberst continued to write and record acoustic solo material onto the four-track reel-to-reel of his father in the basement of his parents. Only two of the 70 songs reportedly recorded, have found their way onto the first official Bright Eyes release, "An untitled 7" split with the band Squad Car 96. Two of the next hits of this band, "Lua" and "Take it easy or love nothing", reached the two top spots on the Billboard "Hot 100 single sales" in November 2004, quite remarkable feat for every musician on an independent label. This had happened for the first time on the list in the last seven years. After that, Bright Eyes won "Artist of the Year" and "Song of the Year" for "When the president talks to God" at the PLUG Independent Music Awards and a "Special Recognition Award" for the clip of "First day of my life" at the 17th Annual GLAAD Media Awards. Additionally, "Time" magazine marked "I am wide awake" and "It is morning" as one of the top ten albums for 2005. Bright Eyes released a new studio album, named "Cassadaga" via Saddle Creek on 10 April 2007 in the United States and a day before in the United Kingdom, with a main hit, entitled "Four winds" on 6 March 2007.
