Biography:
The Lotus Eaters is a new wave band founded in Liverpool, England, UK in 1983.
Many music enthusiasts regard the group as a part of the new romantic movement. However, although Peter Coyle (vocals), Jeremy Kelly (guitar), Mike Dempsey (bass guitar), Ged Quinn (keyboard) and Stephen Creese (drums) had the elegant attire, and fashionable haircuts of new romantic bands, their music was more understated and folksy than the synthesized Euro-disco of Japan, Visage and Duran Duran.
