Blueprint is a blues rock band based in Edinburgh, Scotland.

The band “Blueprint” became fully formed in November 2011 when drummer Duncan Clark joined Andy Donald on bass, and Chris Drysdale on guitar and vocals. 
The name Blueprint was borrowed from the Rory Gallagher album of the same name as the music of Gallagher had been a big influence on all three members, and as the band developed, the name gained a second meaning in relation to the way they approach their playing. In some cases their interpretation of a song will be almost exact to the original, while in others cases, the original acts as a “blueprint” on which they put their own mark.
Each member of the band has a comprehensive individual history of performing, which they combine to produce the earthy exciting sounds of Blueprint.
Following their debut gig at a private party in December 2011 the band have worked at bringing their blend of blues rock to the attention of audiences across the central belt of Scotland through performances in established venues such as Bannermans and Whistlebinkies in Edinburgh, The Dreadnought in Bathgate and The Ferry in Glasgow. They also filled a monthly residency  in Stirlings Kilted Kangaroo for 5 months. 
While the music of Blueprint can best be categorised as blues rock, their combined influences and interests have allowed their spectrum of sounds to expand and include some jazz and funk aspects of rock music. Their catalogue now includes tracks covering the A to Z of classic artists; From The Allman Brothers to Led Zeppelin, and Billy Cobham to Frank Zappa. The contemporary artists of today are acknowledged to the same extent, with music by such names as Joe Bonamassa, Matt Schofield and Oli Brown appearing amongst the variety offered each time the band take the stage.

Künstler bio englisch:

DJ, sound engineer, bassplayer and producer of demo tapes for punk rock and underground bands in the 80s.
First contacts to electronic music from bands like Kraftwerk, Ashra Tempel, Faust, Tangerine Dream, and electronic New Wave bands.

End of the 80s purchase of a 4-track tape recorder. First recordings of own music with bass and a used entertainer keyboard with built-in drum machine.
In the 90s performances as DJ, poems writer and underground poet in Augsburg. First programs with electronic music and lyric as live performance with microphone, mixer and two CD players. 2002 first experiences with music software and the creation of the project "elektrojudas and his hardcoreambientronik".
His compositions combine a very harmonious use of electronic sounds with distorted riffs inspired by electronic Krautrock, Hardcore Punk, Electro, Downbeat, Ambient, Drum & Bass and Dubstep.
Wilholm's trademark as a performer is his ability to combine danceable beats with improvised and experimental soundscapes. The key point is that neither the audience nor the performer can know in advance which interesting sounds will emerge from the whole.
Depending on the theme, the artist uses individual samples as a basis for improvisation or immediate composing with effects and additional loops. Thus, elektrojudas succeeds in producing music with these elements in a playful and easily accessible way, without getting into any kind of noise, in order to create new soundscapes. The resulting cut is witty proof that conceptual audio art does not necessarily have to be smart and sober. In addition to his work as a composer, producer, DJ and video artist, elektrojudas also worked as a team member, mastering engineer and remix artist in the experimental music label Attenuation Circuit, with whom he still cooperates today. An important part of his work involves projects with other artists and musicians that allow him to break out of the comfort zone of his studio and gain new experiences.
