Blackout 101

Blackout was started in the suburbs of Los Angeles, CA in the Spring of 2005. It was all set in motion a year before, when Chris saw the movie "School of Rock". This movie inspired him to pick up the guitar and form a band. At their second show there was a power outage and the name "Blackout" was born. Since then many things have happened in the band; Chris decided to broaden his horizons and continue playing all of his music with talended musicians and friends Dakota Floeter and George Brooks. The Band now rocks harder than ever, ready to embrace the future of Rock and Roll. They have played numerous venues in Southern California including the House of Blues, the Knitting Factory, The Troubador, the Key Club, the Majestic Ventura Theater and the Whisky A Go-Go. They have also impressed audiences of all ages on tours to San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, New York City, Vancouver Canada and even 16 shows and many radio interviews in England. They are busy now recording their latest CD with Producer Shaun Lopez(Far, Deftones). It demonstrates their uncanny ability to write technical and intelligent songs that speak to both the young and the young at heart. Blackout 101 is not a boy band of trained dancers who sing words put in their mouths by others. They are the real deal. Prolific writers, the boys are constantly expanding their repertoire as the legitimate voice of this generation.
