Blind Mule began its history as a progressive rock
band called Gorp, which evolved a few years later into Golden Lake
Diner, both formerly on Sonic Unyon Records. Both bands had
successfully charted high on the college radio charts, and had the
pleasure to play with many outstanding acts such as Sloan, Big Wreck,
Ashley McIssac, Rheostatics, Big Sugar, Treble Charger and Hayden, just
to name a hand full.
The two main songwriters of these bands
took a break to rediscover what it truly was that made the soul breathe
musically. Both Graham Peacefull and Joey Balducchi found what they
were listening for and built a roots act, incorporating 3 new members
to fill out the sound with stand-up/fretless bass, violins/mandolins
and percussion, which then lead to the birth of Blind Mule.
Since
their inception as a band, they toured Canada in the summer of 2007
with Hunter Eves, playing festivals with the likes of Geoff Berner and
Ember Swift, and have also played other showcases with Wax Mannequin,
Trooper, Lindy, The Dudes, and many other great acts.
They are
currently in the studio putting the final touches on their debut EP,
and are planning on touring this EP throughout Canada and Europe in
2008, hoping to play as many festivals as possible.
