The Eyes were a British freakbeat and psychedelic rock band, formed in 1964 and disbanded in 1967.[1] During 1965 and 1966, they released a number of singles such as "When the Night Falls", "The Immediate Pleasure", "You're Too Much" and "I'm Rowed Out".[1]

The band evolved out of an outfit called The Renegades, an instrumental combo, who, when they added a vocalist, became known as Gerry Hart and The Hartbeats. The name changed to The Eyes in 1964.[2] The Arrival of the Eyes was released in 1966, and contained both sides of their first two singles, "When The Night Falls" / "I'm Rowed Out" and "The Immediate Pleasure" / "My Degeneration".

Rare Record Price Guide links the album A Tribute to the Rolling Stones, by The Pupils, with The Eyes; "The Pupils" being a likely pseudonym for the band.[3]
