JANET HURT
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 as you can see from the photo above, 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!
But that’s not what the Farfisa Organ sounds like the way that Janet Hurt plays it as a member of the Invisible Eyes. A Farfisa in her hands doesn’t have a sweet innocent sound at all; it is much more in-your-face and intimidating. She also has some fine moments on a piano – or at least what sounds like a piano; that could still be the Farfisa for all I know.
