Redeye - Redeye 1970

Redeye was formed in 1970 by guitarist Douglas ‘Red’ Mark, a former member of the Los Angeles, USA, pop psychedelic group Sunshine Company. Mark teamed with David Hodgkins (guitar/vocals), Bill Kirkham (bass), and Bobby Bereman (drums). The rock group signed to the small Pentagram label and released the single ‘Games’ in late 1970; it eventually landed in the Top 30 nationally. A second single, ‘Redeye Blues’, was issued in the spring of 1971, although it was banned in many radio markets owing to its lyrical content - some programmers objected to the song’s story-line about a person getting stoned and then unable to find his drug stash. Nevertheless, the single charted. The group was unable to follow it with another hit and split up in 1972. AMG.
