This disc captured the intensity of Blindspott’s renowned live act.2011 saw a new era dawn for Blindspott, with their announced reformation, headlining spot at New Zealand’s ‘Homegrown’ festival and replacing of previous drummer Shelton Woolright with newcomer Tristian Reilly.The band, minus Woolright, is now recording and performing under the name 'BlackList', due to Woolright's unwillingness (as a founding member) to let them continue as Blindspott. « hide |
