The 69
Eyes are having a competition for all their fans with some
video-making skills! As Nuclear Blast is delivering "Kiss Me Undead"
as the next single to radio stations and other media in Europe,
The 69 Eyes thought of a great idea to invite all their fans to make
a video for the song! Jyrki even helped out a bit with his own, dark romantic
imagery and shared what they were thinking about when writing this song -
a male vampire version of a Sleeping Beauty (he;)), whom
somebody comes to wake up with a kiss.^^
Jyrki also announced they'll have a special judge for the videos,
and the official closing date is 30th June 2010!

Video
for "Dead N' Gone" has arrived! Just in perfect time
for the holidays and some serious goth'n'roll debauchery!
Here's
what Jyrki had to say about the video: "Dead N' Gone is the
album's dark pop song.
Dark because it's a break-up song and this was the guide
line also for the video
and its storyline. As we were writing the song I had the
Madden brothers (from Good
Charlotte) in mind for the backing vocals in the
chorus, since we've been friends for a
couple of years and it's been in talks to
do something like this together one day.
Benji Madden came to the studio while
we were recording in L.A. and sang all these
amazing harmonies
on one beautiful Sunday afternoon. As he's part of the song as well,
it's
natural to have him in the video too - cameos are always cool! As The 69 Eyes
started their US tour from San Francisco, I came in to an idea that why not
to
have the beautiful SF as a background for the video!? I don't remember any video
actually filmed in San Francisco! Since making videos with Bam Margera and his
team
is always so much fun, it was also very natural to have him on board again
- this time
we just moved the long weekend party activities to Haight Ashbury!
The 69 Eyes are the SF vampires here, hippies watch out!
Dark, beautiful
song, beautiful city, beautiful couple - this is The 69 Eyes as romantic
yet
gloomy as you can get!" Bam, who was once again behind the helm of The 69 Eyes
video, said the following: "I couldnt be more happy with this new vid, usually I direct but
this time
I was in it as well. With a friend of mine from SF who looks like Angelina Jolie
and Megan Fox but better. With the mixture of her georgeous looks and beauty
shots
all around SF it was an all win situation! Benji Madden made a cameo as well,
which gives it the final touch of a kick ass video!"
Also, here are some really cool 69 goodies from Croatian
media
for your reading and viewing pleasure:
Last but
not least, the Bosnian 69 cave here at

wishes you all the darkest best & a Happy New Fear 2010!

Also,
they will make special in-store appearances as a part of this campaign
playing acoustic gigs in Helsinki:

11.11.2009 The 69 Eyes are
featured on the "Saw VI" soundtrack!
The latest installment of the torture horror film series
offers on its OST works by such bands as Type O Negative,
Lacuna Coil, Chimaira, Nitzer Ebb, and of course,
our very own The 69 Eyes with "We Own The Night"
as one of the bonus tracks (digital download)! Amazing!
Jyrki
was on CNN's Backstory on Devil's Night! It was so fun to watch - for all those of you who didn't get a chance
to do that,
please, be our guest!^^
Some of the stills for the new video "Dead N' Gone"
are available on
Bam Margera's site! Judging from the looks of it,
Bam has the leading role and the story seems to be revolving
around some kind of a relationship that goes wrong?
In any case, Benji Madden from Good Charlotte also appears
in the video (he also sings the chorus), and we hope to
be able to see the final product very soon!
Halloween/ "Back In Blood" promo party in BiH was a tremendous success!
Report + gallery will be here in a few days!
Fangs to all the fellow vampires for coming!
