Blissed is a dynamic force in todays often mundane rock and
roll climate.
Founded by David Pearson (Vocals/Guitar) in 2002 along with Jeff Miller
(Lead Guitar/Vocals), Geoff Breen (Bass/Vocals) and Nathan Kojak (drums)
Blissed delivers an explosive brand of hard rock written for a wide
audience.
During 2002 Blissed recorded their debut full length release titled 'Waking
Up The Dead'. This cd went to retail through Central South Distribution,
Bayside and Select O Hits. The cd was well received as were the songs from
Waking UP The Dead on Radio. Partnering with Pure Tracking, Concrete
Marketing and Skateboard, BLISSED received airplay throughout North
America and Europe.
They broke the top 50 on the CMJ charts, recieved airplay on
FMBQ and found themselves in many 'top 10's' in the CCM market as well,
on some staying in the top ten for up to 16 weeks.
During the first weeks of the Waking Up The Dead Tour Blissed Toured
from California to Michigan, through the Mid West and to Texas. With each
venture building a stronger fanbase all leading to the opportunity to tour
Europe.
The European Tour had the purpose of introducing the band to a new
audience with explosive shows and also to avail the band to press. The live
shows were explosive! The first set, performed in Holland, saw a crowd of
more than 4000.
The promoter of the event was so impressed that they had the
band do a second set in the Netherlands the very next day.
This concert saw the band headline a group of five bands and many in
attendance were new loyal Blissed fans.
Blissed then travelled through Belgium and France and into the UK for yet
more dates in England and north into Scotland. After two more shows in
Glasgow and Edinburgh respectively the band finished up the tour in London
at the infamous Garage, the same club that had just hosted POD
and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
During the busy schedule of live sets the band sat down with many eager
press representatives for interviews and introductions. Powerplay, CCM,
Hebbez, Rock Tribune and Metal Hammer are a few in print as well as many
radio stations throughout Europe.
Finding themselves home again in North America lead the band to the only
logical next step, intensive touring. On the last leg of touring BLISSED
performed in the following cities: Niagara Falls, Atlanta, Orlando,
Jacksonville, Chattanooga, Nashville, New York City, Long Island,
Youngstown, Cleveland, Detroit, Battle Creek, Wilmington, Tulsa, Fort Worth
and Wichita. All of this touring has landed BLISSED an endorsement deal
with Jackson Guitars and a sponsorship agreement with MONSTER ENERGY
DRINKS.
Yet Blissed recognizes that this is only the beginning, that they have only
scratched the surface of the potential for the band. The new full length
release titled CORROSIVE is now complete. Mastered at Sterling Sound by
the same engineer that worked on Green Day's Amercan Idiot, Slipknot and
Stryper's reunion cd Reborn. With this new release comes an intesive
marketing plan...a full radio servicing program, music videos shot in High
Definition Wide Screen for every track on the cd, and a 14 month touring
schedule with plans on performing coast to coast in North America and back
over seas to Europe and the Far East.
Blissed now has a firm foundation laid and a very focused plan for the
future, 2006 promises to be a very exciting year for Blissed and fans of
their music.
