Hailing from Helsinki, Finland, The 69 Eyes performed live in Cleveland, Ohio for the first time since 2007 to promote their new album West End.  The 69 Eyes stepped onstage at around 9:55 PM to welcome the crowd with “Two Horns Up” and continued the journey through a career spanning setlist, covering hits from albums such as Wasting the DawnDevils, and Angels.

Wearing their trademark blacked-out sunglasses, Jyrki 69 and Timo-Timo were able to play to a very eager crowd while keeping their well-known dark and gothic stage presence.  At the same time, Jussi 69 remained consistent with his high energy and hard-hitting drum beats to keep the music alive and rolling through the end of the night.

This was certainly a memorable evening for life-long (and new) fans of the Helsinki Vampires.  The 69 Eyes wrapped up the U.S. leg of the tour the following night and are set to continue the “Hell Has No Mercy Tour” in Latvia on March 6th, 2020.
