12/12/07 - Can it be true? Another NEW news update?! Yes, kids - our latest CD "You're Not Gonna Want To Hear This..." has been officially released by F-Bomb Records!!! It makes the perfect stocking-stuffer or egg nog coaster over the holidays, so be sure to pick up your copy today! We will be getting distributed nationally, and in February our CD will be released in Japan! It's been over four years since "Ignore Me" scored as a number one chart-topping hit in Japan, so we're all very excited to conquer that goofy little country one more time...

12/15/06 - No one thought it would last six years, but the dream is finally over. SHOOTING BLANKS has offically decided to call it quits. It was an amicable split, which was followed with a lot of "post break-up" sex. Anyway, we have literally only FIVE SHOWS left, so you better get your asses out to EVERY ONE OF THEM! Especially our HUGE blowout show in March. No excuses - clear your calendars now. It's been a crazy ride, superFans - thanks for everything!...

11/24/06 - The new SHOOTING BLANKS website has officially launched! There's a sleek new design, and a new arcade! Also, son't forget to head out TONIGHT to our badass CD RELEASE SHOW at The Abbey Pub! If you haven't picked up our latest release yet, "You're Not Gonna Want To Hear This...", what are you waiting for?!?...

8/18/06 - I'm not sure why, but things seem to be rolling along pretty nicely over here at CAMP SHOOTING BLANKS. We just got off of playing a great show with one of our favorite bands Local H. Not a day later, we've been asked to share the stage with the legendary Vanilla Ice! And now (again, only days later), we find out that we'll be playing with Less Than Jake, The Loved Ones, and Catch 22! And in the midst of it all, throw in an awesome FREE Double Door show with an amazing lineup! There's no reason not to come out to EVERY one of these shows, cuz they'll all be super-badass. Check the SHOWS section for more details...
In other news, we've officially booked studio time for mid-October, so expect the new album to definitely be coming out in November. Just in time for Christmas! It's sure to make the perfect gift!!!...

7/6/06 - I'm not sure what's more amazing - the fact that I've decided to finally write a news update, or the fact that our FIRST VIDEO OFF OF OUR NEW ALBUM IS DONE!!! Check out the SHOOTING BLANKS VIDEO JUKEBOX for the new video "It's So Easy" (and yes - those ARE our actual fathers in that video) . The new album is coming along well, and should hopefully be out in September. We've got some great shows coming up too, so please try to make it out!...
---------------------------------------------------------
5/8/06 - We've been chosen as one of four bands this week to compete in Q101's Local Music Mailroom. Please CLICK HERE to vote for us EVERY DAY this week. You have to register, but it's free and it will really help us out. We have a one-in-four chance of winning, so SHOOTING BLANKS has a better chance of succeeding in this competition than Scotty does of staying in this band!...
In other news, we're finally playing a much anticipated ALL-AGES show! It's on Mother's Day too, and there's no better way to say "I love you" to the woman who bore you in her womb for nine-months than to take her to see SHOOTING BLANKS!...

3/16/06 - Happy New Year!!! Now that we've settled into 2006 (it takes some of us longer than others), it's time to get back in gear. SHOOTING BLANKS has a lot of good things in store for you for the upcoming year. For starters, a NEW album! We'll be hitting the studios for (hopefully) an early-summer full-length release. You can preview two of the new tracks off the forthcoming release on our MySpace profile. I have also finally gotten around to the long-overdue task of updating all of our streaming audio links with snazzy futuristic media players, so that they acutally ::gasp:: "work"!...
