Biography
As the four mates from a Munich high school sat together and planned their collective future as pop stars, one important detail remained unresolved. A really catchy, quirky, and perhaps slightly humorous band name, still hadn't been found. It should contain a tiny element of mystery too, they thought, to get their potential fans racking their brains: “Blind Freddy”, a band name was born! The young band with the classic line up of 2 Guitars, Bass and Drums has an average age of just 19, so its hard to believe that these newcomers can sound this adult, so professional and polished.

In November 2009 the band released their first EP, “Try it” and celebrated with 350 screaming fans in the Munich cult club 59:1. Simultaneously their debut music video, produced in the famous Bavaria Film Studios to the song “ Try it”,was premiered to the surprised and overwhelmed crowd. Meanwhile all four boys have almost completed their high school diplomas as well as continued to perform in clubs and fesitivals in the south German scene. By autumn 2010 the band had recorded 14 new original songs in LXK Studios, a well- known recording studio and the product, their new CD, is expected to put the band where it belongs….
