It was as part of Redeye that Smith appeared on the Mark Williams hits ‘Yesterday Was Just The Beginning Of My Life’ and ‘It Doesn’t Matter Anymore’ as well as on New Zealand music television shows Grunt Machine and Ready To Roll. The regular TV exposure and their distinctive look, especially Bob Smith’s jet-black mane, heavy beard and dark glasses, made Redeye one of the country’s most recognisable bands of the middle 1970s.
