BLACKOUTS - Happy Hunting Ground

The Blackouts were the best Seattle band you never heard of. To those of us who bought their records and attended their shows, this is no secret. But for the majority who didn't, this exciting anthology--long overdue--thankfully now exists.

In 1979, following the breakup of the notorious Telepaths, guitarist Erich Werner, drummer Bill Rieflin, bassist Mike Davidson, and synth/sax player Roland Barker formed a new musical alliance--the Blackouts. Like the Telepaths, they had an implosive intensity and were (along with a growing number of other new groups) the antithesis of the bar bands that dominated Seattle's anemic and insupportable local music scene...
