I am now. They definitely do. I reckon the double bass gives them a USP - a unique sound proposition. It's certainly very distinctive and I reckon the four of them have really got something. Kelly's got a great voice, Michelle has to be one of the smiliest drummer's you'll ever see while she blats out complicated rhythms, Josie's guitar is suitably spooky and Louise's bass is sublime - altogether malicious.The drums and bass sweep you along like you're Piglet and The Eyelids are Tigger. They've been favourably compared to The Cramps and sound like Catholic High School girls going bad in the graveyard. But in a good way, y'know?.
The Eyelids are gigging extensively throughout the peninsula and the sub-continent this autumn and doing some recording.
Don't give them too clean a sound, though, Mr Sound Engineer. You need that live feeling to get The Eyelid's scary psychojilly sound right. just let me know when you've got some MP3s to buy.
