"Perry's unique, mature songwriting instantly creates an utterly distinctive mood... the band's understanding of dynamics cannot be underscored enough, and the sophisticated arrangements on each track are uniquely multifaceted" - Spade Kitty Records
Heather Perry and the Blanks released their EP "HERE/" with a show at Chicago's legendary Double Door on Saturday December 12th, 2009. This follow-up to their May '09 release "These Appetites" expands on the band's penchant for creating moody soundscapes but also showcases their evolution toward a post-rock sound that carries a whole lot more swagger. The result? An indie record that requires dancing shoes AND thinking caps, sometimes simultaneously. The full-length LP "HERE/THERE" is set for an early summer release with tour dates to follow.
