  • 737: Revisiting our Interview with Naked Eyes' Pete Bryne
    Feb 28 2025

    Pete Byrne of Naked Eyes was one of the first interviews I did solo for Stuck in the '80s. It was back in 2008 and I had just seen the band perform as part of the Regeneration Tour in Las Vegas. Pete and I had a great chat as he shared stories behind some of the band's biggest hits.

    Naked Eyes is playing on the 2025 voyage of The 80s Cruise, so it's a good time to revisit this classic interview.
