Nope, the band’s not from Raleigh and the show isn’t even in Raleigh. Both are Chapel Hill but oh my, will this be a reunion show not to be missed…Blankface will grace a local stage for the first time since August 1998.
Situating themselves between punk and emo (before there was an “Emo”), Blankface were a Chapel Hill band that recorded only a handful of songs. Most of which were full of energy and their debut album, A Better Day was fantastic, from beginning to end.
I owned a copy of A Better Day with no song titles, given to me by a friend in 1999 after they had already disbanded. Therefore, I can’t attest to their live shows but from what I have heard, they were fantastic. Or maybe I’m just creating this illusion in my own head.
Were you around and saw Blankface live? Tell us your stories. (Maybe Alli with an I could open???? Just a thought) Blankface were even kind enough to put this link on their myspace page where you can download every (the very few) songs they recorded. Start playing catch up now.
Friday 11/28
