Influences
The music of Blue Eyed Fools has been influence by many things. Love, Light, Earth, Water, The Global condition, the Human condition, our so called intelligence, intuitions, fears, desires for change, hope for the future. We definitley feel there are strong forces at work all around us on earth and in our lives. We try our best to allign with the good side of the force.
For us this has yielded some amazing musical and personal moments.
In keeping up with modern times one has to ask:
Ever get the feeling You are being watched...?
Sounds Like
Underworld, SHELLAC, NIN, Front 242, MINISTRY, Massive Attack, IZA 1, B-Rad Van Sickle, Fatboy Slim, Talking Heads, PIGFACE, Damage Manual, Jane's Addiction, Butthole Surfers, Fugazi, Course of Empire and The Cure... as well as the Dresden Dolls, White Stripes, Ogre, Ravonettes, FleetwoodMac, INXS, TOOL, Midnight Oil, Tears for fears, Thrill Kill Kult, Squeeze, DEVO, Mike MacDonald and BIG BLACK or anything Steve Albini.
We grew up doing the same things as You, listening to the same music as You. We generally want the same things as anyone else. We have a feeling, a deep feeling inside we often ignore or shut out. Perhaps You share this feeling. A kind of sadness... or creeping emptiness - a disconnect exists within this beautiful world. Something is wrong. We have done extensive research on this through music, in books, in film, online and inside our minds.
Blue Eyed Fools are a reflection of that feeling. It's an ongoing investigation and simultaneous celebration of this consciousness. We're cool folks [we try and support/represent] we've both been in and around the scene for a while and want to see it continue to grow, evolve and remain
