NEXT GIG: THIS SATURDAY (1st) @ SOUTH SEAS, SHEFFIELD

Yep- here we go- another chance to see us perform at the very brilliant venue of South Seas in Broomhill, Sheffield, this saturday.

Please come if you can to see us, Doubleyellas, and 10 Bob Millionare. Here's the Facebook event page  http://www.facebook.com/events/443421075710611/ .
See you there!

PLEASE NOTE: Bradford 1 in 12 gig Cancelled by promoters

Having had Sunday's gig at Bradford's 1 in 12 Club organised since June 3rd, and after I have had to do some chasing to find out details, the promoters HAVE now finally got back to me to tell us , 2 days before the event, that Sunday (not Saturday or Monday) is cancelled.

They did offer us tomorrow instead but that is neither any good for us at this stage, or you guys who had said you were coming to see us on Sunday.

All we can do is offer our huge apologies- and buy you a  drink when we see you next Saturday (1st Sept) at South Seas in Broomhill, Sheffield.  Eyes/Lips xx

Running On (mark 2)

So to follow up on last week's attempt at getting back to cross-training (running) after 18 months of non action with what seemed to be a permanently damaged quad (where it disappears into my knee), today was something of a  turning point, I think.
Reaching 9.27 km in 1 hr 8 mins is something that I never dreamt possible after the daily pain I've had, just walking - It's not olympic stuff, I know that- and it's not yet as fast as I used to go...but here we are, and I'm ecstatic.
What's more, I can sprint, if I'm careful - AND, best of all, I can  spar properly, it seems (on a  good day) at speed too- so at last I'm starting to feel like I'm getting the old me back. There is a smile creeping across the face of someone who's been a  bit of a  miserable t*** of late :)

Eyes/Lips' Brilliant new Illustration Imagery

Our friend, Chironart is working on some really exciting illustrative ideas for the band! can't wait to see what he comes up with next!! :) See some of his other excellent Eyes/Lips artwork herehttp://www.eyes-lips.co.uk/documents/images.html

Standalone Collaborative Club Single Announced.

We're excited to announce the completion of a standalone Eyes/Lips club single with instrumentals from CrAsh and vocals/final production from Izzie. It's not yet certain when this will be released, but it is a really blistering addition to the already outstanding set of tracks we have lined up to hit iTunes on October 1st. Watch out for further updates!

Nina's back!

We did one gig with Nina, who is our brilliant new 2nd vocalist and synth player, before she jetted off to go diving for 5 weeks in Honduras!! (No, we're not even just a  little bit jealous). Anyway- she's back, and we're very glad about it. Now we can do some killer 3  piece gigs again :)

Running On... (at last)

Well, I figured if CrAsh can have his own blog, so can I, so this is the first of something that will probably bore you to tears...but hopefully not.

Last March I damaged my knee when I was training (Kickboxing), and since, it's been kind of up and down but a  lot of days I've had pain and not been able to bear weight on it
until about 2 months ago (but still been instructing).

Finally- a Physio's come to my rescue, and I'm starting to cross train just a  little bit. Wednesday I managed 6 km on the treadmill- today, 8.2km- so I'm just a  little bit chuffed and had to share it with you.

Tommorrow, I think I might ache :/

ALBUM RELEASE DATE REVEALED

October 1st will bring the release of the new Eyes/Lips 12 track album, 'Searchlight' and will see it delivered to iTunes and many other major digital stores. 

There will be a limited number of CDs produced with full covers which will be on sale at gig dates.

Keep checking back of details of how to secure your copy.

Searchlight' is to be released shortly followed by a series of 'instrumentally rich' remixed singles..

Following a wait while we decided if we were happy with the production and urges by fans to 'get on with it', the response to the initial 'media test' where the album was promoted to radio and other press for review had been so promising that a decision had to be made not to delay things any further.

Izzie reports that "now we've decided to get on with things, we're really excited to see the response this gets and looking forward to more reviews and feedback."

Fans will also be pleased to know that Izzie is currently working on a number of club remixes of some of the album tracks to be released later this year.

A Free download (produced in just 3 days)

DRY HEAT (Crystal Mirage Mix).mp3

August 2nd brought Eyes/Lips a new exciting release aimed at free downloading for everyone. 

'Dry Heat (Crystal Mirage mix)' features Izzie and CrAsh in a rare bass guitar duet, with Izzie providing numerous other bass, guitar and synth parts as well as some superb vocal delivery.

Izzie's intention was to record and mix the song, (which has been played live a handful of times to powerful reception) at Eyes/Lips HQ, from scratch and have it produced and uploaded within 3 days.

Countdown began on Facebook on Izzie's profile and on Eyes/Lips' Twitter yesterday teatime to friends' bemusement, posting simply '10' '9' '8' at intervals as the night drew in.  '2' was posted with an explanation, and 0 delivered an upload of the song, on time, at 11pm to those who had followed it.

'Dry Heat (Crystal Mirage)' is available for anyone to download for free and, Izzie says, is the first of 2 such ventures leading to upcoming live home dates at BomFest pre event party (21st September) and in particular, Eyes/Lips' appearance at 'After Dusk', Polish Club, Barnsley the weekend of Halloween.

Hi All.
Just like to say hello to you and let you know who we are.
We're in Barnsley, Sheffield and Wakefield (but officially Sheffield)- a three piece band gigging live, female fronted 'electronica' where ever we can .
I, (izzie) write, record and produce all the songs in the studio and then we go and prance about on stage every so often in front of anyone who will see us and give 'em a wicked show which is hopefully just a  bit out of the ordinary, pretty tight and some fun .
With some luck (but we are new at this thing) , we hope to keep some kind of blog letting people know what we're up to..and maybe might even see one or two of you when we're out and about doing our thing.
There are some things to catch up, so we'll try and update you.

Eyes/Lips 'Live' is:

Izzie Kirk: Vocals, guitar, synth & samples, sequencing.
'CrAsh' Barwick: Electric Bass, synth
Nina Sherrard: second vocal, synth.
