About Blunt

Ian England : Lead Vocal

Hails from 4,000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire. Frontman and co-founder of the band. Also ex-vocals for 'The Boston Babies' and 'Class War Heroes'. Creator and Presenter of the internet radio show 'Ministry of Punk & Ska'.

The Mad Brit: Vocals, Guitar

The Mad Brit, hails from Macclesfield, Cheshire but started his Punk career in the saaaff (south) of England in 1978 as bassist with Curfew. In 1988, The Mad Brit came to California, and pretty soon after formed Shell-X, based out of LA and now playing lead guitar and lead vocals. Took a few years off during the 90’s to race motorcycles, competing in the Superbike class aboard 750cc Suzuki’s. Finally, the music bug bit again a couple of years ago and he joined Central California band Ellement playing alternative Rock. He quotes "Fuck that shite, now I'm back to my ROOTS with Blunt."

Johnny Fandango: Bass, Vocals

From Stockport, Cheshire, England. As well as being part of a professional drinking team, Johnny likes to bang around on bass. This he does quite loudly and occasionally in time and or tune. Johnny has played in many a band, in fact one of his old bands was voted hardest working band in the UK, two years on the trot by Radio 1. Johnny quite often verges on the shy side of coherence, and has achieved world class recognition for incompetence, he continues to stand on those laurels.

Ringo Fandango: Sticks

Born in Coventry, Warwickshire. First learned to play drums while growing up in the good ole' U S of A, but didnt really start to know what he was really doing until the age of 16 at school in Leicester, good olde Engeeeerland. Played for several years with the notorious Skin Patrol. They evolved into One Million Fuzztone Guitars, but he left to join seminal punk-funk band Medium Medium, constantly touring the U.S. and Europe for three years before splitting up in late 1983. Joined former Medium Medium and Pop Group members in the live and recording band for U-bahnX, an Anglo-German industrial-pop band signed to EMI. Went on to record and tour Europe with innovative world music-dance band C Cat Trance. Reformed Medium Medium in late 2004 for a series of U.S. shows.

Bio
Ian England and Johnny F formed Blunt in September 2006 with the main aim of re-introducing Californian punks to long forgotten, and even rarely played, proper English Street Punk. Johnny got on the blower and secured the services of drummer Ringo and Ian bumped into Skid Mark at a UK Subs gig in LA and invited them to a rehearsal. In January 2007 a mini-tour of California and Nevada was played along with The Negatives from Bradford UK, and The Objex from Las Vegas as well as some other local Los Angeles bands. Blunt's first live performance was at the Fat Liver Tavern in Lomita, CA, and other venues played were in Downtown Los Angeles at The Airliner and at The Cocaine, along with The Brokeass Cantina and Khourys in Long Beach, and Las Vegas's famous Double Down Saloon. Blunt receive great feedback from punks and skins of all ages, and have built an ever increasing fanbase in the Long Beach and LA areas. Early in 2008 Skid Mark found it increasingly difficult to find the time to rehearse and play with the band due to his work committments. Therefore an extensive search went out for a new guitarist. The Mad Brit fitted the bill perfectly and was invited to join Blunt. After a couple more gigs in Hermosa Beach & Long Beach with the new line-up, Ian decided to return to the UK for a while. The band are now a three piece rehearsing and looking to gig again in Los Angeles. http://www.reverbnation.com/blunt
