They call it shoegaze for a reason. The frontman of the popular shoegaze band “The Dreamy Boys” was accused of gazing too longingly at their fans during a recent concert.
Witnesses reported that the singer, who goes by the stage name “Mystic Brian,” was seen looking into the eyes of audience members for far too long, causing some of the attendees to feel uncomfortable.
“It was like he was trying to hypnotize us,” said one fan. “I’m all for getting into the music, but it felt like he was trying to hypnotize us into becoming his disciples.”
The band’s manager said that Mystic Brian’s “longing gazes” were simply a part of his musical expression. However, some fans have expressed that his behavior was inappropriate and felt violated by it.
“I was really uncomfortable,” said one concertgoer. “I’m all for getting into the music, but I don’t want anyone staring into my soul like that.“
The band has yet to comment on the matter, but some fans speculate that Mystic Brian may be trying to make a statement about the power of music and how it can connect people. Others, however, are not convinced, saying that the frontman’s behavior was creepy.
Whatever the case, Mystic Brian’s behavior has certainly raised some eyebrows, and it looks like the Dreamy Boys are in for a long night of scrutiny.
