Colourblind were formed around 1998 by brothers Alistair (Guitars) and Shaun Galea (Drums & Percussions), which were later joined by Paul SKY (Vocals) who happened to rent a rehearsal space a few meters away from them. Keyboardist Etienne and Bassist Adriano joined the band a little later and Colourblind was born. Individually all band members derive their inspirations and ideas from a vast array of diverse artists and musicians and this was maybe the determining factor in forging their unique style of progressive/AOR style. Not much has changed from back then apart from James joining forces with the band in 2005 after the departure of Adriano, yet there is one major realization which can maybe only come through experience, as a legendary musician once said “It’s not the notes you play it’s the spaces between them that matter”. With this in mind the band still plays technical progressive music but never to the expense of the groove or melody of a song. Thus although the signature progressive elements are still there they are much harder to trace since much care is taken in the selection and placing so as to make their style of music a bit more accessible and ear friendly!!!!!
