MERCURY : Do you find yourself playing places that you wouldn't play on a van-based tour? Given Portlanders' well-documented love affair with making music and riding bikes, there are no doubt other local bands who could benefit from Blind Pilot's insights into cycle touring, which Nebeker shared with me, fittingly, from the road. Among them are Israel Nebeker and Ryan Dobrowski, the two friends who founded the band on a similar two-wheelin' tour in 2006. And they are taking one.įor the months of August, September, and October, four of the musicians who constitute the full Blind Pilot live ensemble will be touring the West Coast by bicycle, playing shows from Bellingham to San Diego. ![]() After the most unforeseeably, inarguably successful summer a previously unknown local band like Blind Pilot could ever have hoped for-one which saw the folk-pop outfit release their critically lauded debut album, 3 Rounds and a Sound, garner significant national airplay, land a coveted featured download spot on the iTunes store, and open for Aimee Mann at her personal behest-the group deserves a victory lap.
