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 guys!

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. It is indeed I, Wes, as you correctly identified.

Thanks for saying you'd play for us! We only put Attack!!!! contributors on at the Attack!!!! events, though, that's the whole point of them.

And *that* involves recording a whole new song for us according to a given theme. Which is a bit of a big ask, I know... but maybe you want to! Details are here: http://www. ecartilage. co. uk/response. htm

How are you doing anyway?

Hello Izzy and all the other Eyes.

So we're putting a gig on in London (Cafe OTO), on Wednesday (28th January), and it's going to consist of music from Cottonmouth Rocks, Yusuf Azak and Robh Hokum plus some spoken word pieces - all of it from Attack!!!! contributors. It's a fiver on the night. Hope you can make it. Please see our page for more details.
