The Screaming Gypsy Bandits
In The Eye
Very Rare original Private US LP released on BRBQ Records in 1973. 1st US pressing in a screen printed sleeve.
More progressive than psychedelic, the first album is worth seeking out but the best tracks are the folky ones with soft female vocals like Junior, All This Waiting, Path Of Light and White Teeth. When the violin's in evidence they sound a little like the U.K. band Curved Air. The more upbeat cuts, like the title track and Prematurely (Fly Me Away), just don't come off so well. The album was recorded at Jack Gilfoy Studios in Bloomington, Indiana, which is where the band were from. At the time, columnist and Bloomington resident Michael Bourne gave them a very favorable review in Downbeat Magazine, which was their only brush with national exposure.
The bands personnel fluctuated wildly over the years, and some members also backed Tina Lane on a couple of 45s. Sophiea and Bruce Anderson later played in MX-80 Sound who recorded a local EP Big Hits which resulted in larger label releases Hard Attack and Crowd Control. They eventually moved to San Francisco. Caroline Peyton went solo, releasing at least two albums (Carlone Peyton and Intuition). She later relocated to the West Coast, where she has recorded Celtic music and done major-movie voice-overs for animated features. Mark Bingham went on to form the Brain Sisters (in Bloomington), and played with New York art-punk band the Social Climbers. While in Athens, GA he contributed strings to an R.E.M. album (Automatic for the People?). He eventually landed in New Orleans as engineer of Boiler Room Studios.
The Dancer Inside You was a Bob Lucas solo album, although Mark Bingham produced and engineered (with Mark Hood).
Other Barbeque Records issues included Album437179] and the eponymous Intuition by Caroline Peyton. The 1975/6 ... compilation, included both a Screaming Gypsy Bandits track and a Caroline Peyton track. The Screaming Gypsy Bandits cut on this was taken from a legendary, never-released album called Kryptonite. A few acetates of this are also known to exist.
