Parts of all the aforementioned influences. Sometimes jazzy, always groovy, full of power and pathos, crazy chops 'other worldly' sounds.
The Eye of Chaos is Nigel Date (guitar), John Maddox (bass, vocals, keyboards) and Tim Bradley (drums).
The Eye is a song writing/performing collaboration between 3 Sydney based, professional musicians. Sophistated sonic explorers with a healthy sense of danger, drama and the absurd.
We write hundreds of tunes, often performing complex structured songs totally spontaneously, wholly improvised. We also like to do rock/funk/metal versions of popular songs, especially jazz standards. 'Jazz with gravel' ...We also know thousands of tunes between us and have worked together for over 9 years doing hundreds of gigs.

Hi Eye of Chaos, we wanted all of our Myspace friends to know that Glenn Hughes Tickets are now on sale & selling fast. No major advertising has started yet so this is just a courtesy heads up to fans so they dont miss out... There are only 3 OZ shows in total & it could be an early sell out!
Some fans have also asked if they can meet Glenn, so we are thinking about Platinum Tix for an after show meet & greet. Please send us a msg via Myspace if you think you would be interested.
Have a great day & hope to see you at a gig in April! GH & Band.
