The Blanks, or better known on the TV series “Scrubs” as Ted’s Band, are performing here at ECC Arts Center on January 23, 2010. I went to see them in New York City last year and it was packed to the rafters. I have to admit, before the show, I was really skeptical. I don’t know if everybody was wondering the same thing that I was, ”Are they as good live as they are on the show?” Or, “Can they sing and are they more than a one trick pony?” Their performance answered that question with a resounding, “Yes.” There was lots of crowd laughter and everybody was singing along with all those TV theme and movie songs. If you love Scrubs or just love pop culture references, this show will be tons of fun. They are talented and hilarious! I am curious. Are people familiar with this group? They have over a million hits on YouTube. Look them up and tell me what you think.
When they visit a community, they also include a free visit to a local hospital. I just saw something about this on a recent visit today. I will post more on this later.
