Originally established in early 2001, Blanche Davidian
practically locked themselves in the studio on a
nightly basis for almost a year and a half before
their live debut. They also isolated themselves
from the status quo while focusing on songwriting,
musicianship, and a unique concept. They indiscriminately
pampered themselves with their true musical admirations:
broad influences ranging from 70's glam/shock rock
(David Bowie, Alice Cooper), old English punk/post
punk new wave (Damned, PiL), primitive goth (Bauhaus,
Alien Sex Fiend), psychedelic modern rock (Flaming
Lips, Tripping Daisy), and pervo-punk (Turbonegro,
Dwarves).
Jaime Monistat VII (ex-Potato), Mike
Hawk (ex-The Sport Model), and Ozzy Osmond over-clocked
themselves in the self-recording and self-producing
of their debut album "Attack of the Killer".
This release showcased the combined musicianship
and experience of the three original members, as
well as, the lyrical genius of Jamie Monistat VII
and the "no shame" guitar work of Mike
Hawk. Before their stage debut in September of 2002,
they added drummer Hugh Jass. By the end of the
year, Blanche Davidian recruited Vil Vodka to share
guitar duties and round out the lineup.
In late 2004, Vodka retired from performing and
the band quickly picked up new guitarist, Nikki
Seven. Blanche Davidian have gained the reputation
as one of the best live bands in Phoenix. This claim
can be attributed to their ferocious attack, hypnotic
stage show, intoxicating vocal harmonies, and a
passion for entertaining the masses.
