Interview with Blackout 101 (Originally April 4th 08)


Hey Guys! Introduce yourselves!
We're Blackout 101, Chris: Vocals and Guitar ; Dakota: Bass and Vocals; George: Drums
You guys are so young! When did you form your band?
I (Chris) formed blackout in the Spring of 2005 when I was Ten.

What made you guys want to be in a band?
Watching the movie school of rock was probably my biggest influence.

Who are your inspirations and why?
Taking Back Sunday, blink-182, Green Day, Chiodos, My Chemical Romance, Paramore, Hot Hot Heat etc. ...

What do you like most about performing?
Everything from playing our instruments to experiencing the crowds reaction and performing the songs we write and love.

What are you favorite bands/singers?
Same as our influences
If you had the chance to share the stage with anyone who would it be?
Green Day because they're a band we all love and the exposure would be incredible

We noticed you are doing some shows in England, What are you looking forward to most about that?
Everything! This is going to be the band's third time in England and each time we have more fun and more fun! The shows are great and the kids there are so nice and fun to hang out with.

You have alot of friends on your myspace! What age group is your music aimed towards?
Well, it's intended for all to listen to, but I'd say our biggest audience is Kids anywhere from 11-16.

How do you guys balance school with being in the band and doing shows?
Well most of the shows are on the weekend so it doesn't conflict that much, but on Weeknight shows we usually stay up pretty late and in England for instance, there's obviously going to be some school missed.

What was the difference between the first show you guys played together compared to the most recent show?
Well at the first show (3 years ago) we kinda sucked hahaha... but we were good for ten year olds haha.

What can we look forward to from Blackout 101 this year?
Just keep looking...
What do you have to say to you fans and supporters?
We love you alll! thank you so much for your support!
