The Blakes release Two Times on 25th February 2008. The Blaked describe themselves as 'swamp yankees' and have also confirmed several UK shows including a NME gig with Reverend and the Makers at the Roundhouse in London.

The band formed when brothers Snow and Garnet Keim moved from Vancouver Island to Seattle and met up with Bob Husak - the trio then moved to Los Angeles (all staying in one cheap hotel room till they'd written a bunch of songs), started gigging and came to the attention of influential US label Light In The Attic who signed them up.

The single is released on 7" only and the forthcoming dates will be all three's first trip outside the US. The group are currently on a massive US tour and are already planning further UK shows for March when they will be in Europe for a short French tour alongside Gossip, The Kills and Adele.
