Eye Nocturne 4.1
Posted by Jeremy | Filed under News
The Circle is now complete.
Eye Nocturne would like to welcome Grant, our new vocalist, to the band. He wears a size 4 women’s shoe.
Grant grew up on a farm in the Midwest, and was taught how to sing by Elvis Presley’s former manager. By the time he reached his teens, he lost interest in Rockabilly, and became enamored with the zydeco stylings of the Louisiana Creoles. He taught himself how to play the jug, and later the washboard. He gained notoriety with his first solo release entitled Big Jugs and Washboard Abs.
By the time he was 18, Grant realized his true calling, and traveled to Sweden to learn the intricacies of Swedish Death Metal. Contrary to popular belief, it was Grant, not the Swedes, who coined the term “Swedeathel.” Although he was eventually deported by the Swedish authorities, he continued his ongoing quest to popularize the merging of Swedeathel and zydeco music. Unfortunately, the Creoles did not like that either, and he was exiled from Louisiana.
Grant found his way to east-central Texas and found work as a chimney sweep. He wasn’t able to do the cockney accent very well, but became well respected in the field nonetheless. Meanwhile, he worked on his music. Ever-changing, ever-evolving, Grant discovered the rock greatness of one Sammy Hagar, and started the unofficial Sammy Hagar fan club. He continued to play at local venues—most of which were in cattle pastures.
After several years of honing his voice, he decided in late 2009 that he had the greatest singing voice in the history of the world. Tom Waits would agree. And, after all the hard work, he was invited to join the most progressive band ever: Eye Nocturne.
Welcome Grant. Now let’s play some Emerson, Lake & Palmer.
Eye Nocturne Welcomes Jerad to the Band
Posted by Jeremy | Filed under News
Eye Nocturne would like to welcome Jerad, our new bass player, to the band.
Jerad knows the bass like Captain Picard knows the Borg. In fact, he was once assimilated by a bass guitar and became one with it. Later, the bass queen tried to mate with him, but Jerad’s impossibly-strong will caused him to separate from his symbiote before it was too late. He then took the bass and made the queen eat it.
While none of that actually happened, it is true that Jerad loves the bass. He loves playing it so much that he has a bed shaped like a bass guitar. The pillows are actually made of steel, and shaped like tuning pegs. He uses the huge nickel-wound strings as covers.
That’s not really true either. What we are trying to say is that Jerad kicks ass, and is a bass-thumping, groupie-loving, Flea-worshiping, guitar-smashing, roadkill-eating mofo that can play any Les Claypool solo backwards while standing on his head.
One of Jerad’s favorite hobbies is staring into the mirror shouting “Get to da choppa!” over and over again. He also enjoys listening to Black Sabbath.
Welcome, Jerad. Now bring us some beer.

Eye Nocturne would like to welcome J.P. to the band. He has been playing and smashing guitars since he was a tyke. He enjoys horseback riding, moonlit walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, jumping off rooftops with his Harley-Davidson, and umm, listening to Dream Theater.
When you see him at our next show, don’t make eye contact, lest he give you the evil eye and put a curse on you. Do, however, open your ears to his blazing, screetching, ass-kicking style. If you enjoy having blood shoot out of your ears (and who doesn’t), come see the new, improved lineup at our next show.
All the band needs now are some hot groupies (family members don’t count).
We’re not dead…
