Blind Spot Rockin’ Bio
Blind Spot may be pretty but they sure don’t rock that
way!!
Blind Spot is a 5 piece hard rockin’ band hailing from
Revelstoke B.C. that is fronted by the powerful, dynamic
and energetic young vocalist Kaylee Knecht. She can belt
out the lyrics with incredible force and power, to keep
you spellbound for the entire performance, while the
drummer, Leslie Wilkins weaves sweet melodies to form
beautiful and strong harmonies.
The band came together in April 2005, and spent the
first year in the basement honing their sound before
they took it to the stage. Bassist Heidi Bender joined
the band in late 2006, which was when the band really
gelled and the originals began to flow.
They have been touted as being an “all girl band” when
in fact they do have the token male! If not for Marty
Stroo’s experienced leadership and awe inspiring solo’s
Blind Spot would not have been born and become what they
are today.
They now have their first CD “Past Lives”. Wanetta
Stroo the rhythm guitarist wrote the lyrics and the
melodies came from Marty Stroo and Heidi Bender.
Everyone contributed to the creative process until they
were happy with the result.
The CD from start to finish was done in the Stroo’s
basement in Revelstoke with Marty wearing the many hats
it took to make the CD a reality. This was a new and
exciting learning experience for Marty and he is happy
with the result and looks forward to making the next CD
even better with the knowledge that was gained. And yes
Marty and Wanetta are married.
The bands ages range from 26 to 51, which is why they
have such an interesting and eclectic musical pallet.
They all have a love for music and a need to rock!
