Founded for the sole purpose of raising $700K to purchase a functioning airship for a music festival that will take place over Lake Ontario, the band is desperately seeking exposure in hopes of generating hype and finance for this important project.
“Blimp Rock excel in an area that few bands can get away with; pop or rock music with witty lyrics that straddle the line between sharply witty and outright comedy. Acts like Christian Hansen and The Burning Hell have both done this well, and Blimp Rock can count itself safely within their ranks. After all, how many bands could make a song about Lake Ontario lifeguards be entertaining?” -- Gray Owl Point
“Swampy, bong-littered grooves and slick, silvery guitar lines pepper the entirety of the album – a warm welcome for the summer to come and a sinful array of festivities. It’s a spoonful of Southern Ontario shtick that’s sure to please even the more cynical connoisseurs of scrappy garage rock.” – Beatroute

Blimp Rock Lyrics
Something came in a dream flash today
And I knew what I had to do
Went out back, paced around
And I called all the people I knew
I said "Friends I need to know are you with me?"
I'm gonna empty my bank account
And if you're willing I could use your help
And mom we never get anywhere when you shout that
Blimps are a bad idea! You're gonna blow up everyone you love
Blimps are the way to go when I take us up with helium
Blimp rock is going live by the lake tonight
And when we rise up on a cool summer night
Over Lake Ontario
We'll have a show and serve fancy mix drinks
For you to sip while we calmly float
Dance if ya like, if not there's board games
We'll book the tightest of cover bands
And when the sun peaks up through the clouds
You know the pancakes will be hitting the pans but
Blimps are a bad idea! Don't you know about the Hindenberg
Blimps are the way to be, don't be scaring the guests with that hydrogen mistake!
Blimp Rock is going live by the lake tonight
And I knew what I had to do
Went out back, paced around
And I called all the people I knew
I said "Friends I need to know are you with me?"
I'm gonna empty my bank account
And if you're willing I could use your help
And mom we never get anywhere when you shout that
Blimps are a bad idea! You're gonna blow up everyone you love
Blimp rock is going live by the lake tonight
And when we rise up on a cool summer night
Over Lake Ontario
We'll have a show and serve fancy mix drinks
For you to sip while we calmly float
Dance if ya like, if not there's board games
We'll book the tightest of cover bands
And when the sun peaks up through the clouds
You know the pancakes will be hitting the pans but
Blimps are a bad idea! Don't you know about the Hindenberg
Blimps are the way to be, don't be scaring the guests with that hydrogen mistake!
Blimp Rock is going live by the lake tonight
