Blinder
This is the dictionary definition of a BAND. BAND : A COMPANY OF PEOPLE HAVING A COMMON PURPOSE. We realise the value of having a community through music. Music has the power to bring people together, music + the Internet gives you the power to build relationships. This is what Blinder stands for, we don't make fans we make friends. Blinder dont like the fact that the media saturates our lives with deceit and lies, but they miss the vital point - all humans have a soul. Friends we must stand for the truth and stick together. We try to please ourselves with the music we produce in the hope we can bring something special to all our lives. Blinder make music from the heart, we dedicate ourselves to telling a story through our music, a story in which we hope to bring some enjoyment to you. Music is a special power that speaks to all of us in different ways, music has the power to destroy the barriers we have inside ourselves. We as individuals love music anything from Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell to the Counting Crows, The Verve or Jeff Buckley. The list is too long to name them all, but we wish to thank all the musicians that have helped our lives take shape and meaning. ABOVE ALL we wish to thank YOU for taking an interest in Blinder, we hope we can give you something back.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Blinder where formed about 3 years ago in 1997 and have continued to be dedicated to advancing their musical style. We aren't just a BAND in the narrow sense of the word what we want to achieve is a community of people.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We play throughout Northern Ireland and also in Ireland itself. Most of the N.Ireland shows are situated around Belfast. We try to look at giging in this country in a different light. Because of its size and also the closed minds of the general population its hard to find an audience that appreciate our type of music and feelings.
