Modernity Gets Some Press

...But not the kind you're used to. Apparently, some people in the design community with exceptionally awesome taste have taken note of the packaging we used for the album! Here's a little blurb about it on Pressing Letters. The bottom line: when you purchase Modernity, you're not only getting a great album- you're getting a work of art.

We'll be making our first TV appearance this Friday on Show-Me St. Louis! This has variously been hailed as "epic", "the Beatles on Ed Sullivan for our generation", and "pretty cool, guys".

The show runs from 3-3:30, we play sometime in the middle, along with an interview. Tune in, or better yet, come down and see it live! It's being taped live outside at KSDK Plaza, 1000 Market Street at 10th Street.

If you can't make it down, have your mom tape it for us so we can see it later.

Brasil, 1957: An In-Depth Review

Those of you who know us personally know that The Blind Eyes are, first and foremost, modern architecture buffs. Check out this great review from beltstl.com for a great piece-by-piece breakdown of the song Brasil, 1957 from Modernity! Out of all the songs on the record, this is probably the one we get asked about the most ("what does it mean?" "what's that chorus say"?, etc). This reviewer does a fine job of analyzing it, and connecting a few not-so-obvious dots.





















Speaking of Modernity- it will be available on iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby and much more in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

Tomorrow Night At Deluxe!

We're playing tomorrow night (Saturday 8/15) at Deluxe with the Helium Tapes and the Argonauts! We're headlining, so come early, stay late, and prepare for an unparalleled rock party!

It should also be noted that this is the last show with Brian Scheffer on bass! He's been filling in for Kevin the last couple weeks. Come mock him!

Blind Eyes News, August 12th

Ok, a few things to report:

1) We have a ton of awesome shows coming up in and out of St. Louis. You should go to them. One of them happens to be this Saturday the 15th at Deluxe!

2) We will be playing live on Show-Me St. Louis on August 28th, around 3:00. We'll be playing a song or two to promote the Lot Music Festival, which we'll be playing the following day!

3) Our August mini-tour with Justin Ripley and the ACBs is all wrapped up and was awesome! Thanks to the other bands, all of whom are the coolest guys ever, and to everyone that came out to the shows. We're really looking forward to getting back soon.

4) We are anxiously gearing up to start recording our next album. Look for it in 2010!

5) Morgan from the 75s sports a Blind Eyes t-shirt. Where's yours?
