EYESBURN

Biography

Serbian hardcore / reggae band formed in 1994. Original line up was: Coyot (guitar & backing vocals), Laza (bass), Alek (drums), and Nenad (vocals). Vocalist Nenad left the band just weeks before studio recording of the first album, and Coyot took his place as lead singer. After the album release, Gillespie also left the band, and they continued to play as a trio. At the same time, Coyot started to take an active role as a trombone player as well, and the band started musical exploration of other genres (reggae, dub, drum & bass…) making its own specific mixture of styles, and creating their own unique sound which many people liked immediately. Nino joined the band as a second guitar player. Soon after, Eyesburn recorded their (still) most popular & listened album titled “Fool Control” (CD/MC) which showed the band’s ability to grow, and opened doors for many opportunities in the music business. Band line-up since then had been: Alek (drums), Laza (bass), Nino (guitar), and Coyot (guitar, vocal, trombone).
Recording the soundtrack for the most popular youth film “Munje”, the band introduced itself to a wider population. In March 2005, came further changes in the band: Laza (bass) and Nino (guitar) left the band. Now Eyesburn are: Coyote (vocals, trombone, guitar), Zoran Djuroski Djura (who “gave up” on guitar and became a sound manager), Alek (drums), with new members: Dule (saxophone, ex Dvojac Bez Kormilara), Vucko (bass, ex Del Arno Band), Vukasin (trombone and back-up singer, Smoke’n’Soul – he performed earlier as an Eyesburn guest), and Utvar (Partibejkers’ new drummer).
