Blotto were some hometown heroes in their day for sure. Starting off in 1978 as the Star Spangled Washboard Band with small gigs in Saratoga Springs at 17 Maple Ave and soon finding worldwide success and even some MTV exposure in the early days (bassist Cheese Blotto was a very close friend of my dad growing up and once told me proudly that they were played on the first day MTV was on the air). Their music was a little more rock n' roll, almost power pop at times, with comedic lyrics, and pretty funny music videos with excellent camp value.
They disbanded in 1984, but would reunite a couple years later for the occasional show. Unfortunately members Cheese and Sarge Blotto are no longer with us, Cheese in 1999 and Sarge just a couple of days ago. Rest in peace to two local music staples that were well respected in the capital district.
