The Invisible Eyes

Under Appreciated

THE INVISIBLE EYES
 
 
I have full albums by a couple of the bands on The Sound of San Francisco, Big Midnight and Boyskout that are both excellent; each is likely to be a future UARB.  Numerous other similar bands have come along in the years to follow; the CD from last month’s Under-Appreciated Rock Band, the Invisible Eyes was released in 2005 and would I think be another of this wave of new bands influenced by the Garage Rock Revival.

One year ago, this series of Facebook posts took a different turn as the discussions became more free-ranging and as the text was more liberally illustrated with photographs.  The UARB in December 2012 was the Invisible Eyes – still one of my favorite bands of the bunch – and I remarked at the time that I first encountered them as the first of a trio of CD’s that also included probably the best of the Iguana Chronicles CD’s, Open Up and Bleed! by Iggy and the Stooges; and the CD Les Hell on Heels by this month’s UARB, Les Hell on Heels.  This all-female hard rock band has been on the short list for UARB status ever since, and it is high time for me to get on with it.

Coming next in the catalogue number sequence is the best of the albums in The Iguana Chronicles, Open Up and Bleed!.  I have mentioned this album before, first because it happened to show up in my CD rack bookended by the CD’s for two of my favorite past UARB’s, the Invisible Eyes (Laugh in the Dark) and Les Hell on Heels (Les Hell on Heels).  The CD player on one of my turntables can take three at a time, so I played that trio of albums many times.
