"The Blackout Party took the stage next with what could only be described as a symphonic line up, consisting of not only the standard guitar, bass and drums, they also boast a lap steel guitarist, squeeze box organ player, and flutist/ slide guitar player. Apparently, they also have a fiddle player, but he must have had the night off due to lack of stage space. They all combined to form a rich ambient background for their strong vocals and songwriting." - (Jorge Garcia)

*************************************************************************** "Blackout Party's set was a nice suprise - they came out with some old vintage instruments; the bassist played a standup string bass, the drummer had a compact trap set with a tiny snare drum, and Brian played a beat up acoustic that was caked with dust and plugged into a small VOX amp. Their mostly original song set was a mix of old school blues with a touch of jam band - Brian sounded like a more muscular Neil Young. I really enjoyed their vibe."- (musicbyinigo.com)

*************************************************************************** "There's still a bit of magic tucked beneath that heap of rotting flannel. Yielding a more intelligent and experimental design than their grunge forefathers..sheeit, there's even a flute involved..San Diego's Blackout Party brings the same moody blues-rock that had Alice all up in her Chains." -(Caley Cook, City Beat)

"Goth-folk big band Blackout Party is also on the bill, making this the night’s premium ticket." - (City Beat)
"Filthy huns breeding like rats in California and spreading east.
Listen for the roar of the drums.
You will hear it in the distance like thunder.
And then, wafting in on the breeze, will come the scent of dried blood and human grease.
The noise will grow louder and then they will appear, on the Western horizon, eyes bugged and bloodshot, foam on the lips, chewing some rooty essence smuggled in from a foreign jungle.
They will ravish your women, loot your liquor stores, and humiliate your mayor on a bench on the village square." (H.S.T.)
