The Eyebrows Band- Eyebrowtastic.


The Eyebrows Band. The band that took over the world in one fell, finely manicured swoop. Kath, Haz and Phill took our breath away over a year ago when their debut release, The Eyebrows Band, became the number one top seller in Rave, Time-Off and Scene magazine for three weeks running, tickets to their ear-shattering gigs were in higher demand than Heidi Klum on the runway in the 90s, and beauty parlors world-wide were forced to stay open late to combat the throes of people wanting similarly arched brows. After a long hiatus, the band are back, but with a whole new outlook on things, and with the kind of wisdom that comes only with time. We spoke to one third of the brows, Kath, to find out all of the goss, past and present, about the band that everybody wants to be.


PGL- What inspired you to form The Eyebrows?
Kath- A gentleman with particularly humorous eyebrows entered the record store where we were all currently working. One by one each of us caught a glimpse of his spectacular brows, and, inspired by the lasting hold that they had over us, we decided at that moment we had to form a band in dedication to such magnificent artistry.


PGL- Can you describe these brows?
Kath- If you can imagine the Mcdonalds golden arch cleaved in two, pencil thin, and jet black..... you still can't imagine how funny they were.


PGL- How would you describe your style?
Kath- Slow, yet fast. Heavy, yet soft. Rough, yet gentle like a summer breeze.


PGL- Who else would you say has remarkable brows?
Kath- Pete Burns, Boy George, Pamela Anderson.... and of course, ourselves.


PGL- Where will you be playing on your new tour?
Kath- I'm afraid I can't tell you. There will be no tickets. We will be spreading the word about our top secret gigs through undercover Eyebrows henchmen. After the last time....the sellout crowds, the riots, the smell of singed eyebrow hair..... we need to keep it low-key for our own safety.


PGL- Are the rumors about a new record true?
Kath- At the moment we're focusing on really being at one with our brows. After the last release (Live in Tokyo- limited 10") we all let the fame go to our heads. Between the cocaine, the booze, the girls.....it's safe to say we forgot to pluck our brows for too long. We can't afford for that to happen again. For now we're going to keep it low-key, play a few secret, small shows here and there, and really just feel the music, feel the hair, feel the love.


PGL- Thanks for your  honesty, and thanks for taking the time to talk with us.
Kath- Thank you. *raises an eyebrow.*


Keep an eye out for the Eyebrows exclusive gigs in your town.
