Revision as of 23:36, 10 January 2009

This article is about the rock band. For the film, see Blood Simple.
Bloodsimple

Bloodsimple is an American rock band from New York City that formed in 2002. They are currently signed to Warner Bros. Records.

The band's name, Bloodsimple, comes from a term coined by detective novelist Dashiell Hammett. The term apparently describes the addled, fearful mindset people are in after a prolonged immersion in violent situations. The term was coined in the novel Red Harvest, which is also the title of Bloodsimple's second album.

History

Early history

Bloodsimpe formed 2002, originally under the name Fix 8,[1] and featured former Vision of Disorder members vocalist Tim Williams and guitarist Mike Kennedy, along with ex-Piece Dogs, Skrew, and Medication bassist Kyle Sanders (brother of Troy Sanders, bassist of heavy metal band Mastodon)[2], and former Downset, Crowbar, and Deadbolt drummer Chris Hamilton.

2004 - 2005

In early May 2004, the band opened New York shows for Superjoint Ritual.[3] Then in June, the band signed to Warner Bros. Records, throught Bullygoat Records, an imprint founded by Chad Gray, vocalist for Mudvayne and Hellyeah.[4] Their debut album, entitled A Cruel World, was recorded in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada with producer Garth Richardson.[5] Then, in late February 2005, they began the "Alliance of Defiance" U.S. tour alongside Otep, American Head Charge and Candiria.[6]

In May, the band was featured on the soundtrack to the film House of Wax, with their song "Path to Prevail."[7] In its first week of release, A Cruel World sold 3,120 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.[8] In April, Bloodsimple were rumored to be the band given the second "mystery band" slot on the second stage at Ozzfest.[9] However, that report was later refuted by a spokesperson for Ozzfest.[10]

In June 2005, Bloodsimple began touring the U.S. with American Head Charge and Static-X.[11] Also in June, drummer Brendon Cohen joined bassist Mike Fleischmann, vocalist B. Folly and guitarist Skullion to form a new band named Karnov.[12] Bloodsimple then teamed up with Byzantine, Gizmachi and headliners Six Feet Under for the "Masters of Brutality" U.S. tour that was to begin in July.[13] However, the tour was postponed. On July 26, the music video for "What If I Lost It," off the band's debut album, was posted on MySpace.[14] On August 27, it was announced that the band, along with Disturbed, Dope, and Life of Agony, among others where scheduled to appear at Locobazooka! in September.[15] On August 31, it was announced that the band's song "Overload" would appear on the Master's of Horror soundtrack.[16]

2006 - 2007

Bloodsimple began 2006, by performing in support of Disturbed on the Jägermeister Music Tour.[23] In March, the band was scheduled for "The Crusade III: Ascend Above the Ashes" tour in the U.K. and Ireland along with God Forbid and Trivium.[24] In May, drummer Chris Hamilton left Bloodsimple, forming a new band named Saint Caine along with former Dropbox members vocalist / guitarist John Kosco and guitarist Joey Wilkinson and bassist John Eville.[25] Drummer Brendon Cohen toured as a replacement for the summer of 2006, resulting in three fifth's (75%) of Vision Of Disorder's old lineup playing a limited number of shows.

Bloodsimple were reported to begin a tour with Diecast and Sevendust on February 8, 2007 in Fort Wayne, Indiana.[34] However, on December 20, it was that report was refuted by Bloodsimple saying; "We're putting the finishing touches on the record this week and will mix it first thing in January 2007, then wait on official release date and touring plans which will hopefully be in March."[35]

On April 21, it was announced that Bloodsimple, along with Medication, would be an opening act for Hellyeah in May.[36] On May 28, it was announced that the band's next album was originally scheduled to be released in July.[37] However, the album's release was postponed.
