The Blakes

The Blakes (myself, Gay Elvis, Pete DeGeorge, Chris Thumann, and later Beau Burtnick) led a pretty short but exciting life as a band. We formed in the fall of 2001 under the premise of making unapologetic, over-the-top pop music -- it started as more of an outlet for our guilty pleasures than an actual band. In fact, some of us were actually in other bands at the time, and this was more of a side project. But as we began working together, writing, recording, and eventually performing we realized that we really had something special. We really only played shows for about a year before we disbanded in the the spring of 2003, just a few months after our record came out, leaving a decent looking corpse like any self-respecting band should.
Thanks to all our friends, see you around.
