About Me



The Eyelids are an all girl band from Falmouth, Cornwall. Likened to an all female version of the Cramps, Joan Jett, PJ Harvey and 'that fat woman from the Gossip ', their music is best described as punked up psychobilly but they take influences from all over and are constantly evolving and improving their set.

Over the last year they've worked hard to build up a local fanbase gigging all over cornwall and securing support slots with THE DAMNED, THE CREEPSHOW, THE PEACOCKS, DEMENTED ARE GO, REZUREX, THE COFFIN NAILS and STIFF LITTLE FINGERS.

2008 sees the Eyelids recording with Alan Wilson at Western Star Studios and extending their gig schedule to include dates around the UK and at Speedfreaks Ball in November.

"Imagine if The Cramps were made up of four versions of guitarist Poison Ivy instead of one and also happened to live in Cornwall rather than LA. An impossible proposition, that is until you've seen The Eyelids, our own all-girlpsychobilly/punk outfit whose reputation is growing by the week."
Lee Trewhela, West Briton

"If you haven't yet seen The Eyelids then put it at the top of your to do list now!"
