| (The bands Official MySpace page is: www.myspace.com/8redeyes). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was the Spring of 2004 and a band of seasoned musicians were searching for a new singer and a new identity. While jamming in the garage, the band began working on molding and shaping what would later become a band of brothers. Upon firing their singer, the call went out for a new frontman with fire, grace, and the balls to lead a "new" band out of the ashes of its former self. After many auditions that man would be Michael . Michael, along with Jeremy Acito, David Leach, and Dave Russell, would bring to life a band called "8 Red Eyes". One week later the rehearsals began and the first original song was born. That opened the flood gates of creativity. Within a month there was approximately eight new songs and a strong sense of urgency to hit the studio and begin recording a five song self-titled demo. In the summer of 2004, 8 Red Eyes invaded Lake Ridge Studios to begin laying tracks for their first EP. From the very first note, excitement poured out of each member knowing they were one step closer toward their intended goal, getting our music out to the masses. Through broken guitar strings, all night sessions of guitar leads, and a few busted drum heads, those long sessions in the practice hall were about to pay off. After the recording process was over it was on to Bristol, Tennessee where the final mix and mastering would take place. It was there that 8 Red Eyes found the sound and later the home for their first full length studio release with the help of Mike Stephenson and Gene Hughes at Sonic Design Studios. Later on that summer, the debut EP would be released and the band would hit the road playing shows and building a large following. They opened shows for many bands until they had developed a large enough set to carry the weight of a three hour show themselves. The fall of 2007 brought the band back to the practice room with a new understanding and a bond that would last a life time, The love of making and performing music, not for their own selfish needs, is what it is all about. The desire to bring their energy and passion to the fans. Because, if not for the fans and their love, 8 Red Eyes would not be the band it is today. It is now 2009 and 8 Red Eyes are back and ready to lay claim another year in their rightful place among the premiere rock bands of the Tri-Cities. They released a new album August 22nd. Don't let it be said that fate doesn't play a role in your life. It does!! It brought together a band of brothers with one common goal and that goal is bringing original, "IN YOUR FACE, KICK ASS MUSIC" with a few twisted cover tunes, our style, to the masses!! The band has set up a new e-mail account for our fans whose friends do not have a Myspace page!! They can contact us at: c8redeyes@yahoo.com!! So join us when we say: "Spread the Red!!" |
