Blind Idiot God To Play Roadburn Festival
Indivisible Music is proud to announce that Blind Idiot God has been confirmed to perform at Roadburn Festival in April 2016. Festival founder, Walter Hoeijmakers, explains:
“Over the past decade, Roadburn Festival has been about sonic diversity, whether it’s crunching heavy riffage, weird psychedelics, avant-garde or post (noise)rock, and a cult-band like Blind Idiot God has always been an huge inspiration to fulfill our quest for 'leftfield sonic pleasures that push the boundaries of music.' Blind Idiot God almost singlehandedly embodies our manifesto.
"The moment we heard the band’s first release in over 20 years, the kaleidoscopic, and equally brilliant, Before Ever After, we got extremely excited, and feverishly hoped to get them at Roadburn 2016. It was one simple statement over at The Obelisk, saying that Blind Idiot God found themselves a European bookings agency, that got us immediately on the phone to get the invitation through.
"It’s not surprising that we’re overjoyed to welcome Andy Hawkins (guitar), Tim Wyskida (Khanate, Jodis, Plotkin & Wyskida) on drums, and Will Dahl on bass (though founding member Gabe Katz plays bass on the album) at Roadburn 2016 on Sunday, April 17th, along with Neurosis (celebrating their 30th anniversary), Jakob and Amenra among others. it will be an incredible sonic mass.” More...

Blind Idiot God Streaming "Wheels Of Progress"
"Andy Hawkins is a nut, a perfectionist for his amplification and the guitar, and we recorded it right," producer Bill Laswell explains about the new album "Before Ever After" from Blind Idiot God. "Every detail is there. It's probably the best thing they’ve done."
The album is now available as a pre-order via the Indivisible Music online store. The 74-minute opus is slated for an early 2015 street date and album artwork was created by Seldon Hunt (Neurosis, Earth, Melvins, Sunn).
