Debut Album Coming Soon

About Me


Blind Pilot are from Stoke-on-Trent and formed in late summer 2006. With influences coming from 60’s psychedelic garage to 80’s goth and psychobilly, 70s punk to 90’s rock they hold a very unique sound in there hands. Bored with the modern day music movement they decided to show the world some kind of a change. BP are Paul Baggaley, Lee Stubbs and Matthew Bowker, (consisting of just a basic rock’n’roll line up of drums, bass and guitars) who met and formed at Burslem College. Paul and Matthew first met in 2003 and were in various bands together before deciding to break away and form a new band, which included Lee after meeting in 2004. Blind Pilot was born the following summer.
In 2007 after recording a demo cd at Prism Studios, Blind Pilot appeared on the radio, performing three live tracks and a short interview. Then went on to play gigs in Wolverhampton and Brighton supporting Vile Imbeciles (ex-Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster and Neil’s Children members new band), which then led to a main support slot at the Sugarmill in Stoke-on-Trent with the Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster in August 2007.
Shortly after this gig Blind Pilot were forced to take a couple of months out from playing due to a Matthews re-occuring knee injury. After his recovering they went back into the studio to put into practice a heavily discussed new take on their approach to songwriting and structures.
In 2008 BP went back to Prism Studios to record their lastest EP, 'Second Wave OF Seduction', and are continuing to gig around the UK to promote this EP.
Shared a stage with:
Tonight Equals Dancing, Pagan Angel, Oral Asphyxiation, The Dissidents, Protex Blue, Dive Dive, Kill the Young, Towers of London, Engerica, My Disorder, The Scare, Fortune Drive, Vile Imbeciles, the Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, Jon Jones and the Beatniks Movement, Orion Arm, Skin Deep, Space Witch, Tom and the Hippi Bastards, the Damned
