‘Tracing the roots and subsequent influence of the pioneers, innovators, outlaws, renegades and mavericks of Country Music and Americana’s past present and future’
Mad Staring Eyes have been very busy recently including rave reviews of their latest album in all the major music mags as well as inclusion on cover mounted cds.
The album, 'Talking to the Operator' on Commercial Arts/Proper Music, has been taken by the band on a heavy, UK touring schedule as well as taking in all the top festivals including the upcoming Bestival.
The band hail from North London and have been playing together since they were 15 years old. If you are not familiar with the band imagine a kind of Avant-Country family band akin to The Carter Family but with London accents and attitudes.
