Denver’s Original All-Female fronted metal/hard rock band! The Blackouts originated in 2008. It was as if the universe brought the perfect combination of women together and their lives were instantly transformed. After 6 months, they began to play relentlessly all over Colorado’s underground scene and beyond. Now over a decade later, they are Rockin' harder than ever! The Blackouts have shared the stage with numerous national acts, including, Lita Ford, DIO, Vixen, Tom Keifer of Cinderella, Faster Pussycat, Great White, Lez Zeppelin, Hell's Belles, OTEP, The Iron Maidens and more... (Ali Frankfurt-vocals/bass, Kate Innes-guitar, Angela Mundt-guitar, AJ Beckman-drums)
"Many yawn-worthy bands have been inspired over the years by hard rock and metal from the '70s and '80s. But rest assured, there's nothing boring about The Blackouts.
Ali Frankfurt has a raw vocal delivery that contains a surprising musicality; Angela Mundt and Kate Innes play guitar like they're on a huge stage alongside Angus Young. Hope Hinkson, meanwhile, hits the drums with a power, precision and creativity that recall Janet Weiss and Dan Peters.. The Blackouts do the impossible and make bluesy, punk-infused hard rock exciting again."-Tom Murphy -Westword
