BlindSight

The members of BlindSight have been making music together in one capacity or another for well over 20 years. It's current incarnation developed as a recording outlet for songwriter Charles Schwien's compositions- Brian Seachrist brought a playful but powerful interpretation to the often intricate lyrics, while Keith Varney's blistering lead guitar licks added some definitive power and edge.The result is genre-busting funkified singable poetry that manages to be both esoteric and humorous (and that's just the guitar solo!).

An indicative quote:

"I'm not sure which I'm more opposed to: the notion that music is some sacrosanct endeavor that has to be treated with self-indulgent reverence, or that it's just candy- empty calories to be quickly consumed and forgotten. It's both, and neither. I look at songwriting as playing a game of "got-your-nose" with a half-grown bear. It can be a lot of fun, and it can also leave you with a lot of scar tissue." - Charles Schwien
