1. How did you get started with music and how did you develop your sound? Who thought of the name "Blind Man's Gun" and is there any meaning behind it?
On a beach in summer holiday with an acoustic guitar, selftaught or by means of musical education. We developed our sound gradually over the last 12 years. Everything on „11“ :-) We play how we like to play, fast or slow there are no rules. Influenced by Rock and metal bands of the 70 - 80´s.
There was this song „Into the deep“ by Kenny Wayne Shepard where he is singing about a „blind man with a gun“. This line was the origin of our band name. The meaning to it is that we play and compose music as we see fit. We are open minded regarding sound and style as long as it rocks.
