Eyesburn — artist
Eyesburn is a reggae core band from Belgrade, Serbia formed in 1994. The original lineup was: Hornsman Coyote (guitar & backup vocals), Laza (bass), Alek (drums), and Nenad (vocals). Since the band originated from the BG HC scene, the first album (MC) was recorded live at BG Club KST. Eyesburn played mostly in Belgrade clubs, occasionally having a gig or two elsewhere in Serbia. During that period, second guitar player Gillespie joined the band and they all started to work on the band’s first studio album ”Dog Life” (CD/MC). Unfortunately, vocalist Nenad left the band just weeks before the studio, and Coyot took his place as a lead singer, continuing to expand his enormous musical talents and skills. After the album's release, Gillespie also left the band, and the band continued to play as a trio. At the same time, Coyot starts 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 its own unique sound which many people liked immediately. All that lead to expanding the lineup again and Nino joined the band as a second guitar player. Soon after, Eyesburn recorded their most popular album ”Fool Control” (CD/MC) which showed the band`s ability to grow and solidified them in the music business. As a confirmation of their growing popularity they received an invitation to perform for the pre-election tours “IT’S TIME” and “USE IT”(your brain) to bring Milosevich’s political system down. During this tour Eyesburn promoted themselves around the country playing in towns they never played before. Recording the soundtrack for the most popular youth film “Munje”, the band expanded into wider popularity. They have played and toured mostly in Serbia, Macedonia, Bosnia, and Slovenia.
