The Lotus Eaters

The Lotus Eaters was the name of an 1980s New Wave band from Liverpool, England, whose single "First Picture of You," from their debut album, No Sense of Sin (1984), became a hit in the UK. They had toured extensively throughout Japan, despite arguments with their record label over there. In 2002, The Lotus Eaters, reduced to the duo of Peter Coyle (vocalist) (born 25 January 1962, in Liverpool) and Jeremy Kelly (guitarist - formerly with The Wild Swans) (born 8 April 1962, in Liverpool), reformed after almost two decades, to record and release a new album, entitled Silentspace.
