About 8 Eyed Spy

A band formed in September 1979 in New York City with Lydia Lunch, bass player George Scott III of James Chance & the Contortions/The Raybeats, Jim Sclavunos, as well as Michael Paumgardhen and Pat Irwin of The Raybeats. After George Scott overdoses on August 05, 1980 the remaining bandmembers record 5 tracks at Bobby Blank's studio and then split up in October 1980. Their music was infectiously rhythmic and visceral, using throbbing bass guitar, lugubrious saxophone playing and Lunch's petulant vocals.
