Blackout was started in the suburbs of Los Angeles, CA in spring of 2005. It all started a year before, when Chris [Vox,Guitar] saw the movie "School of Rock" This movie inspired him to pick up the guitar and start a band. Enter Diego Freedman, one of Chris' really good friends. Diego had come over to Chris' house many times and heard him practice and eventually he started playing along to some cover songs on Chris' drumset. Later, Diego started taking drum lessons at Woodlowe Music, where Chris was also taking guitar lessons. Diego and Chris loved playng songs together and one day, Chris' friend Michael Zaks came over. Michael Zaks was a classical pianist, but Chris tought him some of his favorite songs. After a few weeks, the idea finally struck them, "Why don't we start a band?" Michael Soffa unfortunately was a kid that was also looking for a band and took lessons with Chuck from Woodlowe, and Chris called him up to see if he would be interested to be the second guitarist/bass player of the band. after a month or two of band rehearsals, the band had their first concert under the name "Alien Abduction" They had the time of their lives! They decided to have another show in June. During one of the songs, the power went out. After the incident they changed their name to the one you know and love, "Blackout" (Since then we've grown up a bit and become a power trio, so check the current line-up out under band members.
