BAND BIO:Are you ready? The long awaited "Detoit Revival" Band is finally here. Mr. Wax, born in Santa Monica, CA, and Reverend Jim - straight out of Flint - are two boys grown out of the deep-rooted Detroit rock scene. They have come together to bring us the soul in rock music that so many of us have been craving for far too long. The duo met only two years ago, and have since begun their fast-paced, exciting journey as THE BLOIDS.
Reverend Jim, whose expertise is in strings, has been playing since he was barely a teen. He has been part of numerous local Detroit bands, such as Eightfold Path, Wind & Weathering, DBC, and Brother Acre. Wax, with 11 published albums, has built his musical life around many aspects of the industry, from business, to production, to performance. With the skills and experience of the two musician/producers combined, they have bestowed upon us their first full-length album "Memories of Things I've Never Done."
In the short time the band has been making music together, they have received much attention, landing them on the Blender House stage at the March, 2007 SXSW in Austin, TX. They shared this stage with artists such as PAOLO NUTINI, ALBERT HAMMOND JR. (THE STROKES), THE FRATELLIS. They have also worked with producers CHUCK ALKAZIAN and AL SUTTON whose credits include SHERYL CROW, HANK WILLIAMS JR., and KID ROCK just to name a few. Native Detroit artists such as VINNIE DOMBROSKI (SPONGE) and MC BREED have also contributed to the debut album "Memories of Things I've Never Done."
The BLOIDS are not about making more of the same music we have grown accustomed to. Rather, they are here to create music of true substance- music with a message and cause. These are not songs that can be formulated by some magical mathematical equation. This soulful rock is music for the people, by the people. These guys are not your typical celebrities, but more of the "un-celebrity." You won't find them yelling about the brown M&M's that haven't been plucked out of their bowl, or the fact that there are no inflatable palm trees around. They merely hope for good sound (and maybe a few drinks) and want to give you an incredible show that can reach out and touch you. If you have been waiting for something that can open your mind, as well as your eyes and ears, THE BLOIDS are finally here. Just look and listen, they will give you all they've got.
