Blue Blood deliver their modern re-incarnation of classic rock with charismatic aestheticism. Blue Blood have taken back rock and are ready to roll.
Blue Blood’s shrouded origins lie in the heart of urban Auckland, New Zealand. Originally Blue Blood was the brain child of Joel C Thompson and Simon Hole.

Over the proceeding months Blue Blood grew into a full band with Nathan Cooper joining on Keyboards and Larry Lazereth on Bass.
So with the musical low-rider’s accelerator firmly planted to the floor the Blue Blood journey is set for a non stop rollercoaster ride filled with tales of sex, drugs and rock and roll.

The assorted love songs tell stories of wild nights with fast woman, re-encounters of heartless heart break and social commentaries on returning to the times when love was free and people’s minds were open.
