We talk to Jyrki 69 - Frontman of Gothic Rock & Roll band The 69 Eyes. With a career that began in the late 80s and continues strong to their dark rock vision I doubt few had a modern day collaboration with legendary hitmaker Diane Warren on the cards? Jyrki tells the amazing story of their first encounter which led to the release of the bands huge new single Fade To Grey. We talk about the strange coincidences that gave him the confidence to approach the iconic songwriter and also get his thoughts on the new remake of The Crow movie which the 1994 original played a big part in the bands legacy.
