New Pictures Posted Online

We just posted a bunch of pictures from our upper midwest jaunt from over the summer! Go check them out... Also, if you haven't had a chance to read the accompanying tour diary Seth wrote for the RFT chronicling the journey, we'd suggest you do that as well.

It's like reading Led Zeppelin's Hammer of the Gods biography, except minus the huge crowds of adoring fans, private plane, abundant drug use, and trips to Bombay to record street music on primitive tape recorders.

RFT Names "Modernity" Top Release Of 2009

Wow! Thanks to the RFT for naming Modernity as one of the top ten local releases of 2009! We are truly honored. Look for the follow-up in 2010!

In addition, you can now download the RFT's Local St. Louis Year-End MP3 Mix Tape, which includes The Blind Eyes' January! Plenty of other amazing bands are included (So Many Dynamos, Helium Tapes, Old Lights, and lots more), and it's FREE, so what're you waiting for?

A Holiday Gift From The Blind Eyes

Hello Friends,

As a token of our appreciation for making 2009 the best year in our band's brief history and in an effort to join Wilson Phillips, Wham!, and Mariah Carey in the canon of Christmas classics, we would like to humbly offer you, as a free download, "Christmas AM Gold" We recorded this song at Firebrand Recording in 2008 and it originally appeared on A Very Bert Dax Christmas Volume 7.

Thanks again for all of your support this year and don't forget that Modernity is available for purchase from Amazon and iTunes. It makes a great gift! (Do mp3s make great gifts? Perhaps not. The cd is available in St. Louis area record stores.) Hope you have a great holiday season and we'll see you in 2010.
