The 69 Eyes originate from Helsinki, Finland. They became a band in the early 1990\'s and are nowadays labelled as \"gothic rock\" though their early releases were more of a glam/hard rock style. 1989 - 1999 Formed by a group of friends in the bars of Helsinki, Finland in the summer of 1989, a nod to illustrate the band\'s tight-knit friendship is that the lineup has stayed the same since creation. The band originally played glam metal inspired music, different from their current gothic rock style.
