JT and the Blame
JT and the Blame are a two piece rock band from Spartanburg/Greenville, South Carolina, USA. Josh Trotter pounds the drums and Randall Huggins accepts the Blame for bass blunders.
We started out as a three piece but our other bass player dropped out. We looked for a replacement for over a year before we decided to go at it as a two piece.
Now it's back to square one, writing new songs and trying to salvage some of the old tunes. The recording(s) here are rough demos done with a four track in the tiny room in picture. There's also a few live recordings out there somewhere but we haven't managed to get our hands on them.
We are scheduled to record an EP at the end of May.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Our history is in the future?
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We only have a couple-six shows under our belt but are now looking to go where ever the door opens.
Your musical influences
Alice Donut, Nomeansno, Fugazi, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Sebadoh, the Who, Merle Travis, the earlier ZZ Top and the Benny Goodman Quartet.
The seven deadly sins are a more honest influence on the songwriting. They're such fun. I'm sure going to miss them when I'm dead.
Anything else?
We're happy to be playing. Check us out if you get the chance.
Have a good one,
Randall
