Blacklistt
Blacklistt is a rock band formed by four of the original members of the New Zealand-based group Blindspott, Damian Alexander (vocals), Marcus Powell (guitar, backing vocals), Gareth Fleming (bass) and Karl Vilisini (turntables, keyboards, Production).
History
In 2010, four original members of the band Blindspott reformed the group with new drummer Tristan Reilly and appeared at the 2011 Homegrown Music Festival, but the band subsequently entered a legal battle with former drummer Shelton Woolright over the use of the name. Eventually, the band opted to tour and release music under the name Blacklistt. The band performed tracks from the two Blindspott albums, as well as debuting single From the Blind Spot which had been receiving generous airplay at the time at the Homegrown festival. Alexander described the long legal battle as unfortunate, saying, "...it sucks actually. We're doing this for the love of the music and for our fans. I've had fans stop me in the street and ask when we'll start making music again." In the mean time, fans could download the group's single From the Blind Spot for free through a Vodafone promotion. The band eventually reached a stalemate with the legal process and decided to continue as Blacklistt.

Blacklist
by: The Legendary Pink DotsThey scorched the earth; they petrified the forest - painted windows
black. Pumped cyanide in rivers, roamed around in packs ; screamed "STAND,
DELIVER!" they always took it all. Resistance cracked, we'd hide, but sure
they'd find us curled up on the floorboards of our shack. Five on the
blacklist! Five on the blacklist! We were bubbling under, now we're in
there, with a bullet (through the brain) Frightened on the floorboards of
our shack, quite naked, once we'd fight them - now we take it all. They
have our names, they have our numbers. the print-out says we take it all
again and again untill we pay... Five on the blacklist! Five on the
blacklist! We were bubbling under, now we're in there, with a bullet. FIVE
! Five on the blacklist! FOUR! Five on the blacklist! THREE! Five on the
blacklist! TWO! Five on the blacklist! ONE ! Five on the blacklist!
