Eyeless In Gaza

Eyeless In Gaza are the post-punk, New Wave musical duo of Martyn Bates and Peter Becker, based in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, England (better known as the birthplace of George Eliot). They have described their music as "veer crazily from filmic ambiance to rock and pop, industrial funk to avant-folk styles." Formed in 1980, the group went into hiatus in 1987 as Martyn Bates pursued a number of solo projects and collaborations, reemerging in 1993.

The name is a reference to the novel of the same name by Aldous Huxley. Bates has said he chose the name "for the sound of it.... I was reading the Huxley book when I met Pete.... It sounded perfectly nice." But Bates has also acknowledged an allusion to the "biblical myth" of Samson, saying, "I feel attracted by religion. I feel that people don’t pay enough attention to the spiritual side of their life; it is a very interesting side of the human psychism and it fascinates me." (Interview in Les Inrockuptibles, number 14, 1988)
