Bio

Blue Blood forge forth with an innovatively powerful take on psychedelic rock. The music oozes groove and flows effortlessly from lucid soaring solos into fluid, ebbing chorus. Blue Blood deliver their modern re-incarnation of classic rock with charismatic aestheticism. Blue Blood have taken back rock and are ready to roll.

Blue Blood’s shrouded origins lie in the heart of urban Auckland, New Zealand. Originally Blue Blood was the brain-child of Joel C Blood and Simon Hole. In late 2009 Blood and Hole decided that it was time to turn back to their hard rock and bluesy roots and formed what is now Blue Blood. Over the proceeding months Blue Blood grew into a full band with Nathan Cooper joining on Keyboards, Mike West on Second Guitar and Matt Elston on Bass.

Blue Blood serve up a serious dose of blues infused psychedelic rock. The influences maybe firmly rooted in the 70’s but the production and delivery are very much in the now. – The Rock Fm
