BALCONYTV DUBLIN 16/07/2009
PRESENTED BY PAULINE FREEMAN
Dundalk, Ireland band BLIND PILOTS play melodic guitar driven rock, with occasional effects laden synths. Their music is influenced by Radiohead, Whipping Boy,the National and U2. Taking their name from The Cooper Temple Clause song of the same name, the Pilots formed in late 2004. They have made a name for themselves in their local Dundalk through sharing bills with the likes of Ham Sandwich, the Blizzards, the Electric Penguins, Driving By Night, Dry County, Travega and Delorentos. Also their inclusion in the IMRO Showcase Tour 2007 and the Jack Daniels Set 2007 raised their local profile. 2008 saw the band playing outside of their comfort zone with well recieved gigs in Dublin and Limerick city. Blind Pilots were also selected for the National Student Music Awards.

[0asis99]

good attempt at meaningful song, try to be more sublime, that would, in my opinion make your song better, as well as letting the guitar and violin have some solo time, not all a songs power is in the vocals.

[ViolinVirtuoso]

Good stuff, that guy sure can get around that violin!
