Love... the greatest feeling of all. In early 2010 founding member Javier Garza began pondering the question "What is love?" Upon asking this, matters of the heart led Javier to endless songwriting and several nights with Ben & Jerry's. It was then that the hopeless romantic decided to form a band of musical bretheran, recruiting drummer Matt Crutcher from the "Casual Encounters" section off Craigslist. With the stars aligned during conception, Painted Blind was born. Soon after recruiting Austin Nicks in early November, the band began to play relentlessly in Nashville and surrounding areas to spread word of their soon to be released EP. Painted Blind released their self titled EP in early April of 2011, and released their single "Sweet Rain" on to the radio airwaves in May. They were soon voted 102.9 The Buzz Featured Artist of the Month for August. Opportunities continue to grow for Painted Blind having landed opening act for up and coming artist Redlight King. They're a blender of catchy riffs, intense performance, and melodic lyrics that cut through the multitude of the suface noise of Nashville. "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind: and therefore is winged cupid painted blind." -William Shakespeare
