Blank Tape has been together since 2004 when they played their first show at the Walther C. Young Middle School talent show. After a few months of playing local parties, the lineup was cemented with the addition of drummer Alan Penton and guitarist "Fonzie" Sandler .
Consisting of Lennon Livesay (vocals/guitar), Fonzie Sandler (guitar/vocals) Efrain Lopez (bass) and Alan Penton (drums/vocals), Blank Tape is a band in the true sense of the word. They go to school together, hang out together and write songs together.
In the spring of 2006, and still in middle school, they won the City of Pembroke Pines sponsored "Battle of the Bands" winning a slot opening for country star Josh Turner at Pines Day.
On May 6, 2007 Blank Tape won the battle of the bands at the David Posnack Jewish Community Center after placing 3rd the previous year.
