Spandau Ballet Releases Lost 1979 Track 'Eyes' From Blitz Club Era

Spandau Ballet has released 'Eyes,' a long-lost track originally performed in 1979 at London's Blitz Club when the band was still named Gentry. The gothic post-punk song, penned by Gary Kemp, was recorded at Halligan's studio where the band received their iconic name but was not included on their 1981 debut album due to producer Richard Burgess's reservations. 'Eyes' is featured on the 'Demos' disc of the upcoming comprehensive nine-disc box set 'Everything Is Now – Vol 1: 1978-1982,' set for release on September 12, 2025, which includes their first two albums, rare demos, BBC sessions, and a 44-page booklet with new commentary and photos. This release coincides with the launch of a new exhibition at London's Design Museum titled 'Blitz: The Club That Shaped The 80s,' opening September 20, which highlights the cultural impact of the Blitz Club and Spandau Ballet's role in the New Romantic movement. The band members reflect on the significance of the Blitz Club as a creative hub that influenced music, fashion, and the arts during that era.
