Indian Jewelry is a band from Houston, Texas that is known for its droning vision music and seizure-inducing stage show. Since forming in 2002, the band has gone through several touring incarnations as Conjunctivitis, the Borstal Boyz, Turquoise Diamonds, the Corpses of Waco, and the Perpetual War Party Band, among others. According to their website, they originally derive from the fleet Swarm of Angels.[1]

Like other Houston Noise Bands and their psychedelic rock predecessors, Indian Jewelry are known for being considered "able" to fly.
