Blindside Blues Band — Rockpalast, 2010

Full concert filmed in 2010 for the famous German TV show Rockpalast, featuring the Blindside Blues Band, an American outfit led by guitarist and singer Mike Onesko. Rooted in a powerful, electric blues rock inherited from the great power trios of the 1970s, the band here unfurls an incandescent guitar attack, between massive riffs, expressive solos and a gravelly voice. This live capture conveys all the energy of an uncompromising blues rock, filmed with the technical quality that made Rockpalast’s reputation. Mike Onesko, a guitarist with a thick, generous tone, pays vibrant tribute to his influences while asserting his own personality, driven by a solid rhythm section and a feel for groove. This live concert illustrates the fine vitality of a blues rock scene that keeps alive, on European stages, the flame of a genre born on the other side of the Atlantic. For lovers of electric guitar and muscular blues, this 2010 filmed concert is a sure value, raw and authentic.
