Hey guys.

Remember Ted the sweaty lawyer in scrubs ? Do you remember his group of friends in the show who would occasionally do an acapella number? most well known would probably be the "somewhere over the rainbow" ending to an episode. Anyway they ARE a real band and have just started a tour in Europe.

Just thought i would share with you some videos i got in Tower Records of The Blanks playing! They are awesome, and dead sound.
They played Friday the 17th of June at 1:00pm in Tower Records, Wicklow street, Dublin.

Anyway here are the videos.

Kind of like a party trick your dad would pull out with his mates from when they thought they were cool in "band" in the 70's.

Kind of entertaining at first, sort of gets a little annoying towards the end, but couldn't see these guys selling any records, all though they would be decent to go see I guess, but they seemed a lot more barber shop / better from their snippets in scrubs...

I started a thread on this in gigs & events a few weeks ago, pity some of you guys didn't notice it. The show was fantastic, all four of them were hilarious and note perfect!

I am pretty sure they do sell records :P They are fairly well known in America and have a small but good fanbase.

Its all a bit repetetive but they said that themselves on the TV3 interview, they said they know its boring to watch for an hour and a half. So they try mix it up with a lot of comedy etc.

Its novelty and its brilliant i think haha

Better than good, fantastic. The comedy skits between songs never failed to earn laughs all around and they sounded just as good, if not better, as they do in the youtube videos posted above.
