Eyes - Masque, Hollywood 1978

The Eyes were one of L.A.s early Punk bands and are probably most known for the fact that Charlotte Caffey, who made it big with the Go Gos, was an original member. This original line up only released one song on the What Records 7" ep sampler in 1978 (http://www.discogs.com/Eyes-The-Controllers-The-Skulls-Untitled/release/1874412). One further studio track from this line up was released on the What? Stuff compilation CD in 1998 (http://www.discogs.com/Various-What-Stuff/release/2329905). In 1996 a six song live set was released in the Live From The Masque vol. 3 CD. This live set features 4 of the songs that have been released plus a Sonny & Cher cover and five songs that haven't been heard anywhere else. The sound quality is very good but it is an audience recording. To see clips of a recent reunion show go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6VYFCf54AA
