MAD STARING EYES - BORED OF LOOKING COOL
ALBUM OUT NOW ON CD / DOWNLOAD AT: CD Baby | iTunes + more
Mad Staring Eyes are a 3 piece from Camden Town who have been described as a cross between The Cure, The Smiths and The Clash.
In 2005, after releasing their debut EP, they won the John Peel 'Best New Band' award and played Glastonbury Festival that summer. Since then they have toured in the USA, Canada, Russia and Germany and played gigs with everyone from The Fratellis to The Subways to Pete Doherty.
Their debut album, 'Bored Of Looking Cool', recorded at Ray Davies' (The Kinks) Konk Studio in North London, was released in early 2008 on their own label, Retina Records.
Last year Mad Staring Eyes won the Toronto Independent Music Award for 'Best International Act' and were one of the select few UK bands to be invited to New York to play the prestigious CMJ Music Marathon.
The band have recently had their music featured on hit TV shows such as 'Skins' and 'Gossip Girl' and are now recording their second album.

Hey cheers for the friendship, check my page if you're interested in recording, mixing or mastering - top mics, great rooms, low rates. Keep up the good work :)
it was alot of fun. quieter than it usually is but nonetheless alot of fun. personally we could've been better but we learned some important lessons. all bands hate pulling out but there's nothing you can do eh. we're hopefully gonna be recording an ep and giging more this summer so hopefully yea our paths will cross!
real shame you had to pull out on the 3rd, the sound guy explained , bad throats are never good. real shame, was really looking forward to playing with you. still hope your all better now
Yeah does a day get much better? Rock n roll, Prince Gaylord for Lunch and Jim Beam chasers.... you are all a total delight, thank for coming out to our Utopian world and recording the Sally Sessions...we are your greatest fans... xxx
