Underrated Underground Bands Part 39: Omniblank

BAND BIO:

Omniblank was a Rochester, NY based hard rock band, with authentic street credibility, all the right attitude, and a ton of charisma. Originally known as hate machine, they have been together for 5 years and have done hundreds of shows across the country honing their craft. the current buzz on Omniblank is so strong, that at their hometown record release party they sold the venue out and had to turn away at least 200 more...this because fans across the country know that Omniblank's live performance is outstanding. Omniblank members are Jed (vocals), Scott Maynard (guitar), Al Dettori (guitar/vocals), John Paul Jones (drums), Jay Chaffee (bass) and Donny Weissinger (keyboards/vocals). This lineup makes a solid unit of some of the most talented and charismatic musicians and performers today. In addition to the numerous shows Omniblank has played, a number of honors has been bestowed upon them, including the first hard rock band to win the hometown "Made in Rochester" competition in over 20 years. Now, with the release of their new CD "birth of a firefly", creating a buzz throughout the country and radio beginning to pick up on the first single, "Circles", it is time for the world to hear Omniblank. I would like to say that I am not in anyway personally associated with Omniblank, just a fan...

BAND MEMBERS:
Jed Seaver -- Lead Vocals
Scott Maynard -- Guitar
Al Dettori -- Guitar / Vocals
Jay Chaffee -- Bass
John Paul Jones -- Drums (RIP)
Donny Weissinger -- Keyboards / Vocals

OmniBlank is the greatest band ever. I am a Russian Cossack Horseman who lives in Siberia in a small log cabin and when the temperature drops to 20 below zero and Polar Bears are looking into my window I just start a fire, invite the bear in the cabin, drink with the bear a quart of Vodka, and then listen to OmniBlank. It makes the bear and I very relaxed and happy.
