press releases

Below are two of the more interesting press releases we have sent out around Australia in recent years to music press and the like via fax, post and e-mail. Surprisingly, or perhaps not really, is that some of these media, particularly the larger glossier (ie. advertising-filled) ones, didn't believe these things were true and ignored them.

Perhaps the humour or political realities represented went over their heads? Perhaps they just weren't interested to showcase EYE when EYE aren't interested (ie. can't afford) to pay money to have articles written about us (which is how you normally get mainstream music press coverage ie. buy an ad, get a write up). Oh well, maybe, in the future, in order to get hype in these glorious literary journals, we shall adopt the major label tactics of buying advert and article space, supply photos of our silicone inflated p.v.c. plastic waxed and polished mannequin bodies and crazy stories about our cutting edge sexuality... World look out!!!

Sample PR#1: threatened with arrest.

During the filming of the video to "Mandate!" at the Australian Parliament house in Canberra, EYE were threatened with arrest by the Parliament House security guards. You can read the Press Release about it by clicking the above banner.

Sample PR#2: EYE : "too political" for Radio JJJ?

The Australian government's national youth station, Triple J, said EYE's album "Politics can be fun - Volume 1" and the track "Mandate!" is "...too political... too controversial..." for them to play. Please click the above banner for more information.
