The Eddies' stage shows are rare and unusual, to say the least. Since the band was formed in the late 1980s , they have only performed about six or seven live concerts. In 1990 , the band performed at The Cornerstone Festival in drag, belting out covers like "I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar", The Animals ' " We've Got To Get Out Of This Place ", The Beatles ' " I Want To Hold Your Hand ", and Louis Armstrong 's " What A Wonderful World ".

In 2004 , the band began to work on their first album of original, new material in ten years entitled '' The Midget, The Speck And The Molecule ''. The first new song to surface, a rough mix of "Giants in the Land," was made available in March of 2007 exclusively to people that preordered the album before it was finished. The recording sessions ended in May of 2007 and the album was released on July 23, 2007
