GladEyes

GladEyes are a bit of an International super group. Consisting of members from Liverpool, Manchester & Nova scotia. The band has managed to create a sound only a mother could love. When not in the classroom giving lectures on plate tectonics, or playing badminton by the pool, the lads can usually be found in rank (non smoking) rehearsal rooms making their masterpieces come alive.------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ 1773 was the year the magic for the band really happened, but tragedy was soon to follow. There was no way in knowing how their lives were about to be changed forever. ------------------------------------------------------------ --------When writing a jingle for the American radio station WLBG in Hollywood, California, GladEyes's bass player Sweet Willie D got the opportunity to sit in on a session with the legendary Dr. Howard Harris. Doc instantly heard the pure skill and craftmanship in Sweet Willie D's playing. From that day forth, Willie was under the good doctors wing. ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------Panama, late summer 2004... in a freak cannonball accident Dr. Howard Harris said farewell to this world. In that last year and a half here on earth he passed all he knew onto our Willie. Willie soon said goodbye to that fast American lifestyle and headed back home to Inverness. It wasn't long before he was back playing the bass. He put an add in the Inverness Herald for musicians needed for a Nash the Slash cover band. The musicians that would answer the add (and become mates for life) were Angry Frank Christ from Bath, and The Iceman from parts unknown. The 3 connected instantly, and gelled a brotherly bond. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------In 2005 it seemed the only way a person could make money was either being a musician or an artist, so thats just what they did. They took their music all over. From Leeds to Leicester, from Sale to Salford, and all the way to Lancaster from Manchester. The extensive touring and long hours on the road with one another, left them craving new and unexplored genres of music. ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------After a field trip to a local circus sideshow in the hills of Wales, the three heard what they thought to be the sweet soothing sounds of a pump organ singing to them through the thick Welsh fog. Determined to find the creator of such a creepy creation, they persevered. Down, down, down they went, never knowing when the mountain trail would stop. Just when they were ready to give up and turn around, they saw what they were after. That man was the one they called Small Relative. A bit of a jack of all trades as it turned out. Not only did he tickle the ivories, but he also knew how to work an automobile ,a skill which was greatly needed by the three (my how the times have changed).--------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------2006 was not the year to look the least bit suspicious. An unnesessary, lengthy layover in The Liverpool Airport bar found the four face to face with an amaZing singing pilot from Gotham City, Captain Bogart Distructo. Since being made redundant for allegedly smoking the coffee machine manual in the cockpit, he was eager to join the four nomads up on their journey to start the worlds most dangerous band. All they needed now was to find someone to beat those round things with the long and narrow wooden pieces.----------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------They didn't have to look too far. 2007 on the Autobahn in Germany was quite literally where the 5 traveling troubadours would run into their new drummer Lord Ringo Stuchbury. Probably going far too fast in his volvo family wagon and distracted by the smoke coming from the the VW bus the band of brothers were driving, there was a crazy collision too close for comfort. After luckily escaping the fire bomb which was now his car, Lord Stuchbury had no choice but to accept the very generous offer to complete what would be GladEyes.--------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------4 long years it took Sweet Willie D to finally make his dream band. His mentor and idol, the late Dr. Howard Harris would of been so proud. For the past year GladEyes have been recording what should prove to be the best record of all time. Spending endless hours in state of the art studios, all around the world might even pave the road and give direction to the young up and comers who will follow.----------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------GladEyes always keeps their fans guessing what they are going to do next. If you hear of a GladEyes show, you better get yourself to the venue because you don't want to be the only kid on the block to miss this spectacle..
