THE OFFICIAL BLACK EYE STATUS
April 23, 2001
Ok.  Rumors, rumors, rumors...  Their have been a SLUG of e-mails received about Black Eye's "band status", "member status", and "other bands".  A few of these e-mails were negative.  This is where the line must be drawn...  Also, some people have let the Black Eye army know about other web sites, chat rooms, bulletin boards, guestbooks, etc, etc, etc, that contain info (wrong info) about Black Eye.  These sites have been investigated and have been politely corrected.

Anyway, here is what is going on officially...

* Black Eye status:  Black Eye has not broken up.  Black Eye does not plan on breaking up.  Black Eye is still gigging and practicing on a weekly basis.

*  Bass Player status:  Bassist Elvin Johnson did not quit and was not fired.  Elvin is still the bass player of Black Eye.

*  Drummer status:  Drummer Brock Siemons quit Black Eye back in Oct '00 and was replaced by Jom Van Gelder in Feb '01.  However, Brock did finish all booked shows up until Jom took over.

*  Other bands:  Tom has been an jamming in CellBlock12 - http://www.cellblock12.com/ since Jun '00.  Then, sometime during the 4 month long "drummer audition phase" (Nov '00 - Feb '01) Black Eye had, Elvin started jamming with "Rackitbox" - http://www.rackitbox.com/.  Matt also started jamming in a "yet-to-be-named" band in this time period.  Once Jom was officially in Black Eye, the band he came from "Thumbuddy" (that broke up), got back together around Mar '01.  So now all 4 members of Black Eye are in other bands as well as being loyal to Black Eye.

Valhalla gig
March 8, 2001
At the Valhalla, Clermont, Iowa on 3/3/01:  The weirdo's sure did come out there!  This BLACK EYE gig was awesome.  This was one of the best shows of the year.  3 bands total.  First, Lady Green played and they played a set original and some cover material from Alice In Chains.  Very cool!  Then, all the way from LaCrosse, WI, Liquid Skin took the stage.  What a powerful band.  You will see more shows with the bands on this bill!  These guys have opened for "Jackyl" and a few other bands and are hot on the LaCrosse sceen.  They've headlined the "WareHouse" in LaCrosse several times!  They played all original hard rock and had a brand new CD in tow.  This cd is awesome!  Get it!  Actually BLACK EYE's guitarist Tom was in a band called Silver Tears with the singer James and guitar player Jason from Liquid Skin from '94-'97.  This was a memorable show for all.  Then BLACK EYE finished out the night with 2 sets of their own.  So sorry if you missed this show.  It WAS killer.  3 live rock bands!  Please check out Liquid Skin and Lady Green web pages and sign the guestbooks and send them e-mail.  Show some luv.  There will for sure be more shows like this to come!


Benjamins Pub

P A C K E D !  The facts: 4 days notice to the band and 4 days of little or no advertising........  Did BLACK EYE come through?  HELL YEAH!  Did the fans come through?  OH HELL YES!  Those are the real facts and this just goes to show that anything can be cool as shit and BLACK EYE fans ARE some of the best people around!  Thanks to everyone employed at Benjamins Pub and the new managment.  We would like to give a round of applause to the BLACK EYE fans.  And a thanks to Brandon of NineDollarMelonBaller for the bass rig at the last moment.  Thanks again to Guernsey!


SHOOKY'S
February 10, 2001
SOLD THE F OUT! A big-time thanks goes out to Shooky's in Oelwein, Iowa. Thanks to Guernsey for his wiKKid aucoustic set! Hey, this is the gig that any band would hold VERY high. It had it all. Blood, sweat, tears, guts, fights, cops, broken glass, moshing, pushing, equipment destruction, extremely loud music, throwing beer mugs, headaches, drunken crazy idiots, sex in the closet, pissing on each other...... What else can any decent human being want? Look out Shooky's - BLACK EYE WILL BE BACK!


Official News
February 5, 2001
The long, tedious selection period is over. Much respect and thanks is given to all the awesome area drummers who gave it a shot. Please give a warm welcome to Mr. Jom Van Gelder as BLACK EYE's new drummer. Jom comes to the band with vast experience in music and is probably best known as the drummer of local band "Thumbuddy". Jom will be playing all shows from this day forward. So get on your crash helmets and get ready 'cause this dude hits HARD.

A very little town....
December 5, 2000
BLACK EYE played at "POONANNY'S" in Scarville, Iowa on December 2nd (20 miles NW of Mason City, Iowa). What a night - what a night! Now, given the fact this towns population is ONLY 62, their had to be triple that figure by the end of the 3rd set scrunched into the small building. This is the smallest town BLACK EYE has ever played. Man, these wild country people are HUNGRY for live heavy metal music. Don't think a lot of bands play up there... Anyway, this was a cool show -- as no one got barfed on or arrested this time & no equipment was ruined. Well, except for a mic stand being bumped into and the mic smacking Tom on the top of his head... That was funny. At least the "normal pedal destruction" didn't happen this time...... Ha ha ha... Pictures are sure to be posted soon. Thanks to Josh and Zach for taking the video too! Who knows? Maybe the future holds a BLACK EYE video compilation? Still wondering why Rage Against The Machine makes people go so crazy they start killing each other.... Anyone?

Clermont Gig.
November 19, 2000
Along with the bitter cold, the cutting wind and the new snow, BLACK EYE came rolling into Clermont! And what a turn-out... It's amazing what a few ad's on several radio stations does -- thanks to Joe and staff at the Valhalla! BLACK EYE would also like to thank opening bands "LADY GREEN" and "GUERNSEY" for pile-driving sets. Both bands are obviously getting where they need to be. Last, but not least, a very special thanks goes out to WADE ROBERTSON for filling-in on the drums with only 5 days notice! This dude REALLY smokes!!! Thanks Wade!. Fun was had by all in attendance, as the gig started turning into an "open-mic-night!" with Matt M. & Chris (members of Lady Green) jamming with Guernsey -- and Elvin even going up and playing a feww songs with Guernsey. Classic 70's aucoustic rock couldn't be played better / weirder! Ha Ha Ha... Then, Jason Herman and James Deeney (former band mates of Tom's in Silver Tears) showed up out of the blue and jammed out on Crazy Train with Black Eye! Those guys can sure put the power into a classic tune - you've gotta hear their new band too - (LIQUID SKIN). They played their sample mix on a set break - it's fuckin' killer! Their debut cd is soon to be released! Go check out their web page. Well, with only 1 fight and 3 police cars showing up to make an arrest, this was one night to remember. Why is it Rage Against The Machine songs make people want to fight? Then the final song... Metal Health by Quiet Riot. Yes it's true. BLACK EYE did their own little version of this ultimate 80's tune with the help of James from Liquid Skin and Dave from Lady Green adding in & switching off on lead vocals with Matt. Thanks to all the loyal Black Eye'ified fans (old & new). You rule! Everyone was drivin' to metal health fo' real...


Counter is back up.
November 9, 2000
The BLACK EYE counter is back up and running. It had been down for awhile before it was caught... Please e-mail the admin when things don't work right. Thanks.


Fast times at Black Eye high
November 4, 2000
Thanks to all the loyal fans that attended the show 11/4 at JR's in Farmersburg. Also, thanks to "Lady Green" (you guys rock and PLEASE get your cd out!) and Jody and the staff at JR's. Totally pro! Hey, if you missed this show, you missed a kick @ss time. That's right, this gig was packed and the beer ran free (literally). The people were extra crazy this night and Tom can testify to that. During the song "Void", a weird-o accidentally "voided" his own stomach contents directly on to Tom! Yes, it's true, his body and black les paul were covered in chunks... A short break followed along with that puke-dude running for his life... Why does shit like this happen at every show? Carnage, mayhem, bloody moshing, broken bottles. You name it, it happened. But hey, that's rock N roll people!!! So anyway, Tom wiped himself off, stepped up to the plate, and gave 'em hell again. An excellent show and that is no lie. You just had to be there... Thanks everyone! Look out Clermont!!!!!!!!

HOGSTOCK RULES!
August 6, 2000
What an awesome time at Hogstock VI in Parkersburg. This was such a great gig, it's the kind of gig that you dream about playing and this one will be remembered forever. A kick ass moshin crowd. Everything was the BEST! The beer ran free like a waterfall, lots of great food, great entertainment. Lady Green, Guernsey, StiffHard WoodsMen, Aftershock -- they all rocked hardcore. Everything and everyone involved was perfect. Except that one dude who got his head cut open on BLACK EYE'S 2nd song (which was ironically titled "ONE MAN OUT"!)... You better read the lyrics on that song - cause they came true boy! This poor dude was rushed to the E.R.! 20 stitches! Crazy shit! Then found out he was like 1st in State Wrestling though high school! Thats what you get when you get in the BLACK EYE pit... Be careful boys n girls. Luckily no one else got hurt. Just a couple punches here and there... And then, uh oh... Naked chicks!.... and guys. Slip n slid! Camping.. People running around without a care. Man, you just had to be there... Someone better get BLACK EYE some pictures and / or the video of this show. This just goes to show that the city of Parkersburg (and surrounding area's) are a big time staple in Iowa. P'burg just ain't all athletics... Ha ha ha... Yo! A big time thanks goes out to Mike Jansen and Rusty Eddy. And of course all who attended this totally kick ass show; you are all now official bonified BLACK EYE fans. THANK YOU! Can you say HOGSTOCK VII!?
