JOE RAMIREZ  The last original bandmember in the Eyes, Joe Ramirez kept the band going a while longer and got several more 45’s released on Dangerhouse Records. He was also among the rotating lineup in Black Randy and the Metrosquad and released a song with the Brat. Reportedly (under a different name), he later joined the thrash metal band Slayer. (July 2010) * * * There are some original singles by the Eyes on YouTube, but the real treat for me was a 2007 reunion at the Masque with a live performance of “Don’t Talk to Me” (though the vocals are not very clear) by the band’s original line-up: Charlotte Caffey, DJ Bonebrake and Joe Ramirez: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6VYFCf54AA . Their best known song, “Disneyland” can be heard at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOc2Q42t3k8 . (July 2012) |
