Vocals - NIDGE
Characteristics: Drunkenness, verbal abuse, indecent exposure, playing with Little Nidge and general devilry. Favourite book: "Bon Scott - His Part in My Downfall" Guitars - MARK
Characteristics: Heavy metal's answer to Gareth Gates, minus the boyish good looks and charm. Bizarre habit - Teutonic posturing. Insists on calling both his brothers "Rudolph" Bass - GEEZER
Characteristics: Not only does Geezer have hypochondria, he has it much worse than anyone else. Love of precision, exactitude and ending every song with E. Drums - TIM
Characteristics: Text Maniac; Problem Child; nicking all the silver linings from clouds. Greatest fear: not dying young and being forced to reach his full drumming potential

Welcome to Blackout Towers - the MySpace home of Blackout, one of Yorkshire’s premiere classic heavy rock bands. Since 2005 Blackout have taken their high energy rock show to numerous pubs, clubs and bike rallies across the north of England. With a set that incorporates timeless songs from AC/DC to Whitesnake and all points in-between, fans of classic rock and metal are in for a treat. Lights, smoke, strobes and pyros are also integral aspects of the Blackout live experience, with black leather, Jack Daniels and a reyt good craic ever present.
Behind the massive gatehouse and cast-iron portcullis of Blackout Towers the lads concoct their plans for musical mayhem and world domination, ably assisted by Egor the Manservant and “The Author”. Within the musty corridors and cobwebbed chambers of the sprawling castle ghosts, ghouls, freaks and fools of all description can be found – it’s a bit like Leeds on a Friday night. Welcome then, to the home of Blackout. And when the drawbridge falls and the portcullis rises, don your leathers and get ready to rock. It must be the weekend when Blackout come out to play.
