We're The Blanks, a quartet of friends who like to sing a cappella music. For a few years now we've been appearing on the television show Scrubs as 'Ted's Band' where, as luck would have it, we have to pretend to be a quartet of friends who like to sing a cappella music. We’ve put out a CD, and we do live shows, where you can see us singing TV and movie themes such as "Charles in Charge" and "Underdog." We also do songs with talking toys - that's right, four grown men who still play with dolls... er, uh, action figures. If you want to know more about us and listen to some of our music, go to our website (lots of video clips there too).
ABOUT OUR LIVE SHOW
What we do on the TV show Scrubs is just one part of what we do live, in real life, as a real performing group that pre-dates the existence of Scrubs. And we are the same four guys live on stage that you’ve seen on the tube.
The Blanks performances are made up of songs and comedy, sometimes at the same time even! You haven’t seen anything quite like it before. We love to sing, entertain and make people laugh, so our shows include skits, antics, choreography (the kind a 5-year old could memorize), talking toys as lead singers (!), and costume changes.
A note on the costume changes: we’re not Cher, and we’re not Madonna. Because… We’re men! Men who sing. Men who dance. Men who’ll make the milk you’re drinking spray right out your nose with a funny glance.
Come see us live and you’ll be in for a night of laughs, songs and our version of entertainment for any age.
Recent live show reviews:
“I’ve produced and attended countless shows over the years, and it’s such a rare treat to be able to confidently say ‘I know a hit when I see one’. To hear audience members offering repeated comments of ‘great show!’, and ‘how did you find them?’, just adds to our delight with last night’s date with The Blanks. Besides their fabulous singing talents, they incorporate elements of that unique type of big-time NYC and Vegas-style pizzazz that can somehow meld families, college students, the most committed headbangers, Goths, country, classical and jazz fans all together into one enthusiastically happy audience. The post-show autograph signing was a mayhem of fan rabidity. Over the years, I’ve seen cult followings develop following some of our shows of now-household names in show business, and I’m convinced that they’ve managed to convert yet another fan in yours truly. Finally, I'll confess…I’m too busy and I’ve never even seen ‘Scrubs’. . . but I'll never forget last night's show!” – Serni Solidarios, Talent Buyer, University of Puget Sound
“ I enjoyed the show immensely, but why wouldn’t I? We all know that chicks dig “young and hip” men who sing a cappella music. Hot.” – Michigan Tech Lode
“The Blanks were awesome last night! They really did make their show into an entertaining comedy performance, and they sang weird songs extremely well.” San Francisco Fan Blog at LiveJournal

Thank you guys for coming to our little town of Coldwater Michigan last weekend. It was the best thing to happen here in quite awhile. This may sound funny, which is why I didn't want to say anything when I met you guys, but I've been going through a lot of junk lately and your show put such a smile on my face that it was just what I needed. So THANK YOU, for more than you'll ever know.
You guys are incredible on Scrubs. I own every box-set, and watch them on a daily basis. Plan a show in Maine, you have no idea how many kids would LOVE to go to it.
Oh, by the way Sam, that Hey Ya version you was genius. So much better than the Matt Weddle one. Do you think you'll ever have it up in your music box?
Anyways, I hope all is well with all of you, I look forward to seeing what you do in the future. You're all great <3
LOVED the show, guys! It was a real pleasure to finally meet you all! TOTALLY worth the 4 1/2 hours in the car, round trip! Shtick, music, pacing...all completely engaging! Just wish I had remembered to bring my CD, instead of having to buy a 2nd! Oh well. My lead's been bugging me for my copy for a while. ;)
Paul, that John Williams arrangement is pure awesome. Must be nice to be able to arrange for guys with such vocal range! Next time you're this way, I still owe you a drink for Underdog!
