Photoshoot Ideas / Other News

That's right, we're not done with you! After you vote for the song you think we should shoot a music video to (below), send us your idea for a photoshoot. Whether it be in a comment on this blog, or a comment on our myspace page, we'd love to hear your idea.

In other news: We've been rehearsing intensely for the past few weeks, and we are really looking forward to the show at the Knitting Factory on July 24, and the show at the OC Fair on July 26. We hope to see you at one of the shows (or both of them), and whichever one it is, it's going to be amazing! Expect a totally different set. That's right, for the first time in months, we're going to be playing with a completely different set list, filled with a bunch of new songs, plus the songs you love off our "A Work In Progress" EP. Make sure to get down to the shows next week!

If you have anymore questions, shoot us a comment at myspace.com/theblackout101


Hahaha, if you want a good laugh, check out this video from two years ago.

No, this isn't Blackout, obviously, but you can see Skyler playing guitar on the far left.

New Songs...

We've been writing and recording new songs for a while now, and lately, they've been sounding really good! We're really excited for the new songs, and for you to hear them! Make sure to come see us at the Knitting Factory on July 24th in Hollywood. We're going to be playing a bunch of new songs, and we wanna know what works, and what doesn't work. Hope you had a great 4th of July and are still having a great summer.

Oh yeah... here's a stupid video about what happens when you stay up all night...

George's Warped Tour Experience

Well, my day at warped obviously wasn't as cool as Chris's, but I'll still tell you about it. I picked up out good friend Trent and then we paid 5 bucks to get to the front of the line. Deal of the century! Then I saw Dear and the Headlights. They're a great band but I have no clue WHY they would play warped. They're like Against Me! meets Conor Oberst. WEIRD. Then I checked out Bayside with Ryan from Countless Hours and then got caught in the Anti-Flag pit, $1000 camera and all (thank god its all alright). Pretty fun tho. I've been waiting to see them for three years. Not much else. Bad religion is the best punk band in history, and the power got cut for an entire song. That was fun to watch. OH! And the Ataris got fat and bald.

Seacrest out!

Last Few Days





I can't even begin to describe how amazing the last few days were... So I won't write too much and keep it simple. Warped tour was in Pamona on Friday and in Ventura, today. Both days were absolutely amazing! I got to meet a bunch of guys in the bands at Warped, plus an incredible, random as balls run in with Mark Hoppus. MARK HOPPUS! The reason I started playing in the first place (Incase you didn't know). I met him randomly while driving down sunset with Bruno on our way to Warped. We saw him and stopped the car to say hello, and had apparently won free blink tickets because of some contest. Who knew!? Anyways... here are some pictures.

Have you ever refurbished a toilet?

As of today, I have!! Long story tho (and really not as funny as you think it would be) so if you actually care about further details, perhaps you should leave me a wall post on facebook. That's right, facebook has URLs now! The nuclear arms race for social networking power has begun! Do you know much about the cold war? If not, you probably wouldn't understand that.

Anyways. My grandma had a stroke last weekend so if you're wondering where I am/what I've been up to I've been in Michigan the past week visiting her and I'm flying home for 10 days tomorrow before I'm off to New York University for an intense month of photographic awesomeness!!!

Peace out, RIP MJ
