The Blames are dedicated to offering you the best in Enterprise-class rock products and services. We look forward to serving your needs.

Our flagship product, BasementRock 1.0, has been even more recently than the last "recently" upgraded to BasementRock 2.0, with a completely overhauled Web 2.0-style interface, including round-cornered boxes and a new "dimensional" logo. Our engineers in Bulgaria and Bangalore remain focused on enhancing productivity and overall customer value by adding confusing, unnecessary features and gratuitous "look and feel" enhancements that, at the end of the day, don't mean shit. BasementRock 2.0 is soon to become the leading business-to-business rock product in the mid-Atlantic region, once the rest of them piss off all their customers and fold. Please contact our sales office at 1-866-THE-BLAM to setup an on-site demo today.

What is BasementRock 2.0?

Incredibly newly updated (like, this afternoon), BasementRock 2.0 is the first component in a larger suite of business-to-business software engineered to bring the rock to the modern Enterprise market. By combining propulsive rhythms, razor-sharp guitar work, and sometimes muffled, quasi-drunken vocals with a multi-threaded meta-processing engine, BasementRock 2.0 enables really frigging huge Enterprises, like Snider's Super Foods and the Beer Wine Deli, to get more done, faster, without spending any money or actually working. Regardless of your vertical, BasementRock 2.0 is the key component to successful horizontal competition in the Oughts.

WHO ARE THE BLAMES?

Founded in 1975 by the younger brother of Thin Lizzy's Phil Lynott, Ty Lynott, The Blames first came onto the basement scene with their soaring, radio-hostile debut, "The Crabs," in January of 1976. Following the demise of their first five guitarists in a series of beer-related missing-persons reports, Ty eventually hooked up with rockers Bill Barbot (bass), Mark Eberman (guitar), Kim Bieler (guitar and keys), and Mike "Krussell" Russell (drums).

After a brief hiatus of 25 years, The Blames reunited in November, 2004, this time, sadly, sans Ty, who got lost on his way back from the bathroom and was never found.

October, 2005 saw the addition of multi-instrumentalist Melissa Berkoff, acquired from the ashes of the now-defunct DC InterCore.com. Melissa lasted exactly zero rehearsals before she was fired for losing interest and pursuing other, erm, pursuits.

Sometime during the last Bush administration, Russell departed the band for sailing, polo, and "more family time at the club." Wanting for a drummer, the band cruised downtown Silver Spring and fortuitously stumbled upon the hungover corpse of one ex-Cherry Poppin' Daddy and Best Kisser in the World, Tim Arnold, in the alley behind the Silver Theater. Recognizing a soul mate when they saw one, the band quickly cleaned the vomit off Tim's hoodie, rolled him for change, and propped him up behind Mike's kit, where he would remain to this date, occasionally actually playing drums.

BasementRock 2.0 remains The Blames' tribute to the memory of Ty, Phil, Mike, and all the other Rockers who have paved the way to our hearts with the music we so love.
