SUNSHINE BLIND Incoming darkness, invading night. Holds all my dreams from the light. It is the early 1990s. In New Jersey a new band rises who would very soon distinguish themselves by fusing elements of New Wave, Post-Punk, Dark Folk, Punk & Alternative music giving them a quite remarkable Goth Rock sound. The lineup of this band comprised of CWHK alias Charlie Kocornik (guitars, synths, programming, etc), one‘Cousin Al’on bass, a drum machine and…Caroline Blind (vocals, guitar). Caroline’s ‘torch-singing’ took the band to a next level, making them a unique band in the history of Goth. Now more than 34 years later I have the honor speaking with Caroline about the early days, the history of the band, and, the present days. www.peek-a-boo-magazine.be - 4 - Hello Caroline. Let me start with giving you a big thank you on behalf of Peek-A-Boo for doing this interview. The year is 1991, the time that Sunshine Blind was formed. Tell us about those early days, what were they like? How did Sunshine Blind come into existence? The New Jersey and New York area were great places to play live music. It was easy to find other people to work with, and the scene itself was relatively supportive of each other. I didn’t realize at the time that it was not like that in other places. If it hadn’t been so easy or supportive, I’m not sure we would have started or continued, so we were lucky to start and be there.
