BLAMMOS' sound has graced many first-class stages across the country, including Sin-e and The Living Room in New York, The Hideout in Chicago and The Dirty Dog in Austin, as well as numerous Northern California music halls. In October of 2007 they were chosen to take the stage at the CMJ Music Marathon in New York alongside five other acclaimed Bay Area bands at the Talking House Productions SF@CMJ showcase.
Since early 2006, after releasing their debut LP, “It can*t be true” and in between three national tours, they have been creating their own music videos, and have since produced over 30, including the award-winning “Girl of My Dreams.” Each day during November 2007 BLAMMOS made a new music video and posted them online. They were shot in various locations featuring members of BLAMMOS, friends, relatives, other bands and strangers. A DVD, including all of the November videos plus live concert footage is slated to be released in late 2008, accompanying the release of their sophomore LP.
The lead single from the upcoming LP, “How do you know?” b/w “We’ll be free; We ARE free!” hit the internet in late May 2007, and can be purchased exclusively at BLAMMOS shows and on amiestreet.com. The single has been included in podcasts such as Pacific Noise, The Bay Bridged Monthly Mix, and Warren Ellis' 4 AM Mix. John Swanson of Pacific Noise has this to say about San Francisco's up-and-coming pop band: "Sometimes you just have to get a song stuck in your head...Blammos make that an easy thing to do."
