orangeysky passed on the community to me, and i also made the fierce tbo forum whore charlie_100 a mod to help me get the community a bit more active
i've given this place a bit of a makeover, so take a look and let me know what you think

anyone seeing the blackout at reading? : )

Would anyone like to take over the community? I'm looking for someone who has ideas to get this place going and a lot more active than it is at this point in time (and you'll obviously have to be active on LJ). If you're interested, just comment with your ideas - comments are screened, so nobody can steal your ideas.

So ive been looking around for avatars of Gavin, and i havnt really come across many at all as most of them appear to be of sean.
I was wondering if anyone in this community has any and was willing to share
thanks in advance

Hi, just wanted to let you know that some new live pics of The Blackout live at Norwich Waterfront are now up on http://ampedreviews.net

RockSound has posted a review of The Best in Town.

lexyonmyspace and myself are in the process of setting up a website for interviews, reviews and the like. We would like you to check it out. There may or may not something for your liking coming up soon-ish.

Enough whoring out.

Who of you already got The Best in Town today? How do you like it? I wanna know your opinion about it.

Go check out the boy's YouTube channel. Now.

The guys have confirmed to play the Trabendo in Paris on May 31st and the Den Atelier in Luxembourg (city) on June 2nd as support for Billy Talent.

Other mainland Europe dates are June 5th Rock im Park and June 7th Rock am Ring.
However, Rock am Ring has been sold out for a while. If you do decide to go there, check e-Bay. There's plenty of tickets being sold...

Hey guys! I'm giving my ticket for today's GIAN away.
I'm sick and I live in a horrible area so I don't really want to have to walk home while trying to avoid being stabbed at midnight anyway.
First come, first served.
I can give it to you either by the Academy, in town or in the M19 area if you want it.

Anybody seen the guys at GIAN in London or is anybody going to see them at the remaining GIAN dates throughout the UK? I - and I'm sure other people as well - would like to know how their set was.
Abusing my admin powers. I also wouldn't mind reading about Thursday's and TBS' sets. :D

The Blackout have unfortunately been withdrawn from the TCT show at Royal Albert Hall on Saturday 28th March 2009

While in LA shooting our upcoming music video's Rhys became ill and was admitted to Hospital. Rhys is currently still in LA and his parents and girlfriend have flown out to be with him.

We are sorry for to disappoint our fans however I'm sure you all understand and we'll update you on Rhys situation as we get more info.

Rhys has asked us to play the Merthyr and Japanese shows with a friend of ours filling Rhys's place until he's well enough to take his position as best in the bizz.

I know Rhys, his family and the rest of us would be be super happy if you could leave him some nice messages showing that you love him as much as we do and wish him a speedy recovery
