The last time that Finnish goth rock legends THE 69 EYES toured the United States was in 2009. As the band has been busy conducting business as usual, releasing albums and touring elsewhere, the U.S. has been waiting very long for the return of the Helsinki Vampires. After recently teaming up with DEVILDRIVER frontman Dez Fafara and his wife Anahstasia's The Oracle Management, THE 69 EYES are ready to start a new chapter in their 30-year rock 'n' roll saga.
