    ..From Wikipedia:.. ..Deep Blue Something is an American rock band best known for its hit single "Breakfast at Tiffany's." The group was founded in 1993 in Denton, Texas by students Todd and Toby Pipes, Clay Bergus and John Kirtland. Bergus left the band before Tiffany's became a hit and was replaced by guitarist Kirk Tatom, but eventually returned to that role. Originally, the group called themselves Leper Messiah(David Bowie), but decided to change the name after seeing this name attracted mostly heavy metal fans, due to the Metallica song of the same name... ..The band's first record, 11th Song, is from 1993. In 1994 (and again, on another label in 1995) the band released their second album, Home. The accompanying single "Breakfast at Tiffany's," reached the top five in the United States and number one in the United Kingdom. The lyrics of the song were inspired by Audrey Hepburn's performance in Roman Holiday, but the author, Todd David Pipes, thought that one of Hepburn's other films would make a better song title... ..Outside United States, Byzantium was released in 1998. In its home country, the band took much time off between Home and their 2001 album Deep Blue Something, in order to fight US centered copyright issues related to their initial album, 11th Song, which they believed to be of lower quality than their name deserved. ..Recently Deep Blue Something has been reactivated, and the band did a short tour in the winter 2007. The band is also planning on releasing new music through iTunes. ...more tour vids in the video section ......LINCOLN AND DES MOINES TOUR 2008.. .. .. .. .. ..VIDEO : "Breakfast at Tiffany's".. .. .. .. .. .. ......

    I have a story for you. It was the summer of 1995, a sunny day in Parramatta Westfield shopping centre in Sydney. My older brother had brought me along to buy comics with him from the old Comic Kingdom on Church Street. Mother had given me five dollars to buy McDonalds for lunch. At the time you could get a large mc chicken meal for $3.95. Before lunch though we went to HMV in the Westfield and were looking through WWF video tapes and posters before moving to the CD section. There was a big wall featuring new release singles on sale for $2.95. Boom. My heart pounded. I had that amount of money in my hand and was in a CD shop. Normally I would have gone to the arcade first and played two rounds of Street Fighter Alpha at 50c a pop then used the change to buy lunch in the downstairs maccas. But this day the routine was different. I was in HMV with money and realised I had the power to buy a CD. My first CD. I wasnt yet rich enough for a full Long Play album but that was ok as on the shelf, in front of me was two of my favorite songs that i had been loving and trying to tape onto cassette off TripleM radio. I pulled them down to inspect. In my left hand was the brilliant catchy and comical song 'Peaches' by The Presidents of the United States of America. In my right hand, 'Breakfats at Tiffanys' by Deep Blue Something. I was faced with a choice that would determine the future of my musical life. I knew it then - this was big. This was my first purchase and would represent everything i was ever going to be. Do I go with P.U.S.A. and laugh as i headbang around to a song about fruit? or do i go with D.B.S and sing melodramatically to a dream of taking a girl to Tiffanys for breakfast? To add to this drama was the lingering presence of my older brother who at the time he was into Tool and Pearl Jam. He would most definately not like me going for the latter option. I felt my heart tremble in fear over being caught with Breakfast at Tiffanys but I knew the re
