AUBREY NEHRING
Bandmembers in the Invisible Eyes are Aubrey Nehring (guitar and vocals), Janet Hurt (keyboards), Adam Svenson (drums), and Ian Barnett (bass). Aubrey is a guy actually, but Janet is a striking brunette. On that great final cut, “That Old Song . . .”, Donnie Hilsted plays maracas. I still have not figured out how they create that rollicking beat that goes on and on for more than 6 minutes, but it certainly isn’t because they added a maracas player!
The rhythm section – drummer Adam Svenson and bassist Ian Barnett – never lets up for a second; and there is some fine guitar work on the album by Aubrey Nehring. Nehring is also the band’s vocalist; he reminds me of Jack White on some of the tracks on the first White Stripes album, such as “The Big Three Killed My Baby” and their cover of “St. James Infirmary Blues”.
