Naked Eyes PROMISES PROMISES and ALWAYS SOMETHING THERE TO REMIND ME on WJBK My Fox Detroit July 6, 2007
Naked Eyes was formed by two college friends from Bath, England: Pete Byrne on vocals and Rob Fisher on keyboards. The two had formerly played in a band called Neon, which also featured future members of Tears for Fears.
The group never toured because in the early 1980s technology was not advanced enough to reproduce their multi-layered, multi-synthesizer sound in concert. According to Denis McNamara, who was the program director at New Music station WLIR during the band's heyday, this has led to a "curiosity" about the group over the years.
Rob Fisher died on 25 August 1999, aged 42, following surgery.
In 2007, Naked Eyes released Fumbling with the Covers, an acoustic album which consisted of covers of Bob Dylan, The Beatles and Elvis Costello, among others, along with the Naked Eyes hits.
