Blanks 77 was conceived by vocalist Mike Blank and drummer Chad 10 Seconds during jam sessions at rock club, The Pipeline. Guitarist Renee Wasted was added after she replied to an ad placed in a local music newspaper. Blanks 77 has gone through three bass players since its inception. Original bassist Brendan, who had previously played with the Connecticut-based group, Devestation, was replaced by Geoff, who gave way to Timm "T.J." Blank, formerly the lead singer and guitarist for The Broken Heroes, in 1995.
Blanks 77's debut album, "Killer Blanks", was released in Germany in 1995 and in the United States the following year. Their second album, "Tanked And Pogoed", followed in 1997.

Blanks 77 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey you, runnin' out the door now
Don't you wanna dance with me
Don't you wanna romance with me
Come on won't 'ya come close now
Come on, I wanna see your face now
Don't you wanna dance with me
Don't you wanna romance with me
[Chorus:]
She's gone, done forever
She's gone, droppin' like a feather
She's gone, gone forever
Never again will you see her
Then I noticed all the slits in her wrists
Then I felt her loneliness
Don't you wanna dance with me, No!
Don't you wanna romance with me
So I saw her standing on the ledge
And she's asking me to take that pledge
Don't you wanna dance with me, No!
Don't you wanna romance with me
[Chorus]
Don't you wanna share what you're feeling
What you're feeling inside
Don't you wanna let some anger
Let some anger outside.
