Deep Banana Blackout formed in the summer of 1995 when Jen Durkin, Fuzz, Eric Kalb and Benj LeFevre, a group of like-minded
musicians from New York and Connecticut joined forces to play Soul and R&B covers from the
60’s and 70’s for the pure love of that music. As the band members’ chemistry became apparent, all
other projects fell to the wayside so that they could focus on writing and arranging original material.
The band soon became a highly acclaimed musical force on the East Coast underground live music
scene.
In July of 1997, they released their first studio effort entitled Live in the Thousand Islands. The album
was recorded in Hartford, CT in the old Colt.45 building and was produced by the band members
themselves. In February 1999, Deep Banana Blackout released their second recording, a double live
CD called Rowdy Duty. The album was recorded in one night in
Port Chester, New York. Later on that year, the band’s label Artkin Touchya Records released
B’Gock!, a side project for DBB’s guitarist Fuzz and his band On The Corner.
DBB released 2001’s Feel the Peel on Flying Frog Records, the label founded by Allman Brothers
drummer Butch Trucks.
Over the course of the bands 30 year history many notable musicians from the Funk, Rock and Jazz
world have joined DBB on stage.
