*music: blind pilot

I ran across this band, Blind Pilot, in an episode of "Chuck" and have enjoyed them ever since. This is their latest video "Go On Say It":


From NPR's Morning Edition - http://www.npr.org

"The band Blind Pilot literally rode a pair of bicycles to success. The folk-pop outfit, formed by singer-guitarist Israel Nebeker and drummer Ryan Dobrowski, has taken two bike tours, playing its music all along the West Coast. The first of these two tours was supposed to run from Vancouver all the way down to the Mexican border. Unfortunately, the trip was cut short when the band’s bikes were stolen outside San Francisco’s Museum of Modern Art.

They recently finished a second bike tour with a couple of additional bandmates, hugging Highway 1 down the coastline. One of their most memorable scenes occurred at a tiny grocery store in Leggett, Calif. As the group played, a crowd began to gather around it, including a handful of unexpected onlookers.

Blind Pilot is on another tour now, with six members, and this time they’re all traveling by van. It’s a far cry from those first bike trips, where they didn’t even have a support vehicle to haul gear."

This is the song that first drew me in: "3 Rounds and a Sound":

Enjoy!
