Kobalt Blue
Welcome to the Blue Pages
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The first time we played as Kobalt Blue was September 11th 2001, which is an absolute crazy coincidence but true. Back then we were a three piece playing covers such as Blink 182, Green Day, and Pennywise. During December of 2003 we got a new drummer and second guitar and now only do original stuff besides the odd Metallica cover for fun.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We take any opportunity we can to play live because that is what it is all about. Of course we love to play live, I dont think there is a band who doesnt. At least there shouldnt be. It is the thing that keeps us together. Working on songs or recording together can get everyone pissed of at each other real fast but then the adrenaline rush from on stage makes it all worth it.
