   About THE BAND OF THE EYE
Photobucket

Formed in 2007, The Band of the Eye is gigging around the UK and has been played on many radio stations and podcasts in Ireland, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, the US and the UK, including BBC stations, a week as a Featured Band on XFM, and various interviews.

The band played its first gig in April 2007. Favourite venues include The Fleece, The Croft and The Louisiana (Bristol), Moles Club (Bath), The Jericho (Oxford), Buffalo Bar (Cardiff), The Dublin Castle, Lark in the Park, and The Hope & Anchor (London).

The January/February 2008 issue of Alternative magazine included The Band of the Eye's 'Beatnik Acoustics' on the cover-mount CD.

In early 2008 the band recorded in London at Press Play Studios with producer Paul Tipler. From these sessions, 'Dress-Down Day', was released in May 2008 by UK indie Shifty Disco: buy it here.

The Band of the Eye is included on the Panther compilation released in July 2008 by Leaping Cat Records.

The band recorded its debut album with Paul Tipler in late 2008. The album will be available in 2009.


'Strangely addictive stuff from Bristol based grizzled power poster trio The Band of the Eye... [A] combo refusing to buckle to the "do you wanna be in our gang" mentality preferring instead to go off on their musical expedition.'

- Losing Today


'A good mix of rocking out and perky poppy melody. * * * *'

- Venue


'A charming band with an immense amount of potential and some great songs. These guys have big plans.'

- Reverb Magazine


'This band has got a huge future; it's only a matter of time before someone discovers how fantastic they are.'

- BBC Radio Bristol Introducing


'Good, righteous rock.'

- Fierce Panda Records


'One thing is certain; this rock trio is going places, likely straight to the top of the charts.'

- Robert Benson, iLike2Rock.net


'Intelligent and substantial rock.'

- FUSE


'Spiky glam rock swagger matched to pub rock bombast, TBOTE certainly know how to deliver an amped up gutter-riff when called upon!'

- Subba-Cultcha


'Scintillating groovers... Plenty of big chorded full throttle rockout. '

- Bugbear


'Sounding good to me chaps.'

- Tasty Fanzine

"Beatnik Acoustics" is featured at 17:39 on this podcast.

This isn't where I went for undergrad, though it's clearly in the same city. (I went to the University at Buffalo, this was from Buffalo State College.) And the even crazier thing is that this was broadcast on my 23rd birthday (7-Nov-07). =)

this is the page where the podcast originated from: feed://www.buffalostate.edu/rss/poetrypodcasts.rss

Enjoy!!!! =)

thoroughly enjoyed the show on saturday, and i'm looking forward to your next gig!!! =D

Sounds about right.
We allways seem to get bands dropping out at the last minute or some such things or having dates changed and moved about-weird!

Hope Newport works out if the Fleece doesn't happen.
Best of luck.
