''Blackout Sappy (Band) Post-Grunge''' ... Why this name? Mainly it was Kurt Cobain who inspired me, he had came to my school causally, sat down, and started playing acoustic songs from various albums, this was 3 months before he passed away tragically. After that I dedicated myself to write music with a passion, with the burning pain that I had, we had such similar backgrounds growing up. We we both deemed 'bi-polar' by the doctors, but no medicine had any effect, and the gnawing pain deep inside the soul, that only kurt and I knew. We seemed to be fated, so when He was gone, I decided to do a solo project in thanks, so I chose the name Blackout Sappy, Sappy being a rare B-side track on a Alternative sampler album entitled "No Alternative". It was a hidden track called "Sappy". The Blackout came easy, because I often have Blackouts. Do you play live? Yes, at small acoustic venues.
