BLANKETY BLANK__________
(rap sheet, bio, last will and testament)
BLANKETY BLANK music has beautiful _______________ (harmonies, waterfalls, discounts) . Their songs are supremely well crafted with a tremendous amount of _____________________ (monster truck rallies, rodeo fanatics, killer guitar and vocal hooks).
The band has been compared to and influenced by ___________________ (Beatles meets Weezer, Donald Trump meets Mike Tyson, Jerry Lewis meets the Rolling Stones) so it pretty much has a rock/power pop feel to it. BB's new 9 song CD, Is This Your Pill? was recorded at Butch Walker's studio in ATL & was mixed by Russ Fowler (Stone Temple Pilots, Rage Against the Machine, Offspring, Angie Aparo). The CD has become an underground cult classic, selling thousands independently worldwide. Aren't you ___________ (salad tossing, bar hopping, curious) as to what the buzz is about???
Lead singer/songwriter Greg Roth won the finals in rock for the John Lennon Songwriting Competition for his song "Unhappy Hour." His mother is very________________ (sexual, constipated, happy) for him. Roth plays ___________________________________________(guitar, West Palm Beach, piano, harmonica, bass, in a tub of Jell-o, drums) and sings too! He likes to sing. In the past, Roth has performed with or opened for ________________________ (losers, transvestites, musicians) like Lenny Kravitz, The Ramones, John Mayer, Dre 3000 of Outkast, Barenaked Ladies, Blondie, Shawn Mullins, Harry Connick Jr. and others.
Bassist Gregg Schlepper Shapiro loves _________________________ (midget wrestling, Motown music, reading sun-dials). Solid grooves & muscular playing characterize his ______________ (humor, desire to fly, style). Shapiro plays lots of instruments but enjoys making ____________________ (marzipan fruits, toasters, birds whistle) most of all. Shapiro hails from N.Y.C and was in the fantastic roots/rock band, Another Story. He has played on various CD sessions and his bass playing has brought him to the attention of fans worldwide.
Are you scared of AWESOME guitarists? BLANKETY BLANK is! Thats we didnt get one. We got Will x-box McNeill, instead. No, thats just ___________________ (flying saucer, K-Y Jelly stain, joke). Will sings background vocals and plays all the instruments Roth and Shapiro play - only much, much better. Be afraid, be very afraid. ________________ (Ooooo, Wha hah hah, Aiiiieeee). Will had several house gigs in various Mississippi casino boats & clubs before moving to Atlanta.
The guy who beats sticks on the loud boom-boom, crash-crash thing is __________________ (a woman in a man's body, our brand new drummer, all things to everyone) He is Rob. Rob Mirabelli. If you love drums, Rob loves you. His playing has a tremendous thundering appeal to it, yet his softer side reveals ______________ (latex gloves & lotion, puppy-eyed innocence, a craftsman-like knowledge) to his instrument. His studio work & touring the northeast speak volumes for itself. Mirabelli was invited to join one of the ______________________ (hottest, spandex-wearing, eco-friendly) Atlanta bands on the scene, but left to join BLANKETY BLANK because he pitied the band.
Catch BB on tour around the southeast & prepare to be _________________ (searched, blown away, orgasmic) by their live show and sound!
