Welcome to the forum.

No help on the bags under the eyes, but I use lubricating eye drops of which there are many and my eye rubbing is much reduced. I have found drinking plenty of water instead of the usual drinks has improved my eye comfort so prevented eye rubbing.

I bet the places the band plays can be quite smokey which will not help, especially if the bars are like the ones I used to work in. The eye drops help here too.

Hope it helps.

Regards

Gareth

Hi :D

I've had a look at your website and I really like your music. :D Good luck in getting signed.

No tips re the bags under your eyes I'm afraid, but have you considered never being seen without sunglasses? They hide a multitude of sins, and imagine the fun you could have playing with your image. 8)
