Founded in the hazy, murky, twilit bars of Helsinki more than 30 years ago, The 69 Eyes, the band circling around Scandinavian goth rock epitome Jyrki 69, has done exemplary service to all things dark. The band have released fourteen revered albums, toured the world over, and even going platinum in their home country – all the while maintaining a strong tie to the graveyard shift of rock’n’roll. When the sun goes down and the moon comes up Finnish goth glam goo goo mucks proudly wear their sunglasses, leather jackets and black eyeliner to become one with the night.
With an eclectic penchant for morbidity, glamour, sex and the supernatural, these nocturnal animals embody both the foggy essence of Scandinavian goth rock and the lusty decadence of Sunset Strip glam, haunting everyone from goth rock ghoul to metal dude, from glam rock cat to rockabilly fiend. It’s classy, it’s sexy, it’s raunchy, it’s dramatic. Their fateful, ominous current album “Death of Darkness” (2023) celebrated this unholy union with a new set of love songs to the darkness in all of us, proudly howling at the moon and sinking their fangs deep within our necks. Come, sweet death, and have a drink with me. The night is young and life is short. In 2024, the band released the cover of The Dead Boys’ anthem ’Sonic Reducer’ as well as the deeply touching ‘Fade to Grey’ – written for the band exclusively by Diane Warren (Aerosmith. Rod Stewart).
Eagerly awaiting fans can expect a set list pulling tracks from across their extensively and eclectically dark discography – from ‘Paris Kills’ and ‘Devils’ through to new material; from the much loved ‘Lost Boys’ and ‘Dance D’Amour’ to ‘Drive’.
