       BIOGRAPHY

THE RED EYES FORMED IN GLASGOW IN MAY 1997 AND TAKE THEIR
INFLUENCES FROM THE MORE MELODIC EARLY PUNK/NEW WAVE BANDS.
AFTER RECORDING THEIR FIRST ‘4-TRACK DEMO’, THE BAND WENT ON TO CONTRIBUTE A SONG TO AN ANGELIC UPSTARTS TRIBUTE ALBUM, RECORDING THE UPSTARTS’ 1982 SINGLE “WOMAN IN DISGUISE”. THE ALBUM WAS RELEASED IN NOVEMBER 1998 WITH BANDS FROM THE UK, EUROPE AND CANADA CONTRIBUTING TRACKS.
THE RED EYES SUPPORTED STIFF LITTLE FINGERS ON THEIR MARCH 1998 UK & IRELAND TOUR AND FOLLOWED THIS UP WITH CONSECUTIVE SUPPORTS AT THE GLASGOW BARROWLAND IN 1999 & 2000.
THE BAND HAS ALSO SUPPORTED THE UK SUBS, THE VIBRATORS, 999, SPEAR OF DESTINY, T.V. SMITH, THE CARPETTES, THE LURKERS, MENACE, GOLDBLADE AND THE GUITAR GANGSTERS.
THE RED EYES RELEASED THEIR DEBUT ALBUM UP TO OUR EYES IN IT AT THE END OF 1998. THE BAND GIGGED EXTENSIVELY IN 1999 & 2000 TO PROMOTE THE CD AND AT THE BEGINNING OF 2001 PLAYED BOTH DAYS AT THE MINEHEAD BUTLINS ALTERNATIVE MUSIC FESTIVAL WHICH ALSO FEATURED THE DAMNED, BAD MANNERS, 999, UK SUBS, EDDIE & THE HOT RODS, CHELSEA, DR.
