Junior’s Eyes. Founded by Mick Wayne in London, 1968, with Steve Chapman on drums and Honk (John Lodge) on bass, they quickly signed a record deal with Denny Cordell/Tony Visconti Productions. They were managed by Blackhills (T.Rex, Pink Floyd, etc.), who organized the Hyde Park concerts. Junior's Eyes first gig was with Traffic and many other gigs and benefits followed closely, such as the Marquee, Roundhouse and Middle Earth in London and then various venues and festivals up and down Great Britain and Europe including Star Club Hamburg and Beat Club TV in Bremen. In 1969, they recorded their only album 'Battersea Power Station'. Grom (Graham Kelly) joined them on vocals and Rick Wakeman was added on keyboards. John Cambridge who had earlier been in the Hullaballoos with Mick, replaced Steve Chapman on drums, whilst Tim Renwick was added on guitar. The band however where not to stay together for long. Mick had been playing sessions for various people, including James Taylor, Joe Cocker, David Bowie ("Space Oddity") and following the demise of the band he was adviced by his managers to move to Los Angeles to continue his career. At Leon Russell's studio he recorded a new album. This master tape contained performances by various L.A. musicians, but was subsequently stolen from Island Studios, London. In 1972, Mick came back to London and recorded with Joe and Sandy Denny, Steve Winwood and Ringo. He also went on to play and record with the Pink Fairies, Tim Hardin, and Phil Collins. Tragically though he died in a house fire in the USA in 1994.
Junior's Eyes are one of the more well-known unknowns -- if such an oxymoron can be applied -- of the late-'60s British psychedelic scene. Most people who have seen any reference to them at all are apt to know them only as an act that served as David Bowie's backup group briefly in the late '60s. Mick Wayne, Junior's Eyes' lead guitarist and songwriter, played guitar on Bowie's "Space Oddity" and some of Bowie's other recordings. Prior to forming Junior's Eyes, he had briefly been in the Hullaballoos, a lightweight British Invasion band that had a bit of success in the States. He had also been in the Bunch of Fives with ex-Pretty Things drummer Viv Prince. As part of the Tickle, he wrote their sole 1967 single, "Subway (Smokey Pokey World)," one of the greatest obscure psychedelic 45s. He also played acoustic guitar on James Taylor's Apple album.
