Blood Of The Sun was formed in 2002 by drummer Henry Vasquez (Saint Vitus) and keyboard player Dave Gryder (Storm at sunrise), their self titled debut came out in 2004 and their 3rd album “Death ride” featured Derek St.Holmes on lead vocals from Ted Nugent. They´ve got a new line up on the new album “Burning on the wings of desire” with Tony Reed on bass and Point Blank members Rusty Burns on guitar and John O´Daniel on lead vocals.
We´re talking 70´s rock here with Hammond organ and southern rock flavored riffs, imagine a mix between Grand Funk Railroad, Black Oak Arkansas and Uriah Heep and we´re close to the sound of “Burning on the wings of desire”. BOTS sound a lot like 1975 to me, this is album rock so if you´re looking for radio ready songs – move on. I know Kiss costs $2.8 million if you want to book ´em so if you want a much cheaper band for your festival but still rocking just as much, get in touch with BOTS and you´ve got yourself a great opening act. Highlights: “Can´t stop my heart” and “Good feeling”.
