About Blackine

Lance Cauzey - Bass
Jerry Lyons - Drums
Ross Pitto - Guitars
Steven Slate - Vocals

Lance Cauzey, Bass
From Lake Tahoe, CA, Lance Cauzey found music an outlet when the
winter sports winded down. After high school, punk band 86d picked
him up and immediately started touring Northern California. Two
years and two tours later, he joined Empty Set, an emo punk set of
high-energy rock and again jumped in the van to live off those
tasty 7-11 burritos. After another two year stint, he found
himself wanting to play harder edge, “Deftones, Tool, Soundgarden,
I f*%(n love that things!” Lance decided to make the move to L.A.
Upon arrival, he found a well-established band, Green Brier Lane,
but yet still it wasn’t exactly what he was looking for. After 18
months, a feature on the KROQ 05 compilation and several KROQ
brewery festivals, he decided to not play anything other than
straight up rock and joined Blackline in the fall of 2005.

Jerry Lyons, Drums
Jerry Lyons has been playing music since he was old enough to
walk. At the age of eleven, he got his first real drum set at a
yard sale for $25, and has been playing in bands ever since. Jerry
continued to hone his craft while attending the University of
Massachusetts, where he studied Music Performance and Recording
Technology. While in college, Jerry played in a number of bands
around the Boston area that ranged in style from Hip Hop and
Reggae to Metal and Electronic. However, it wasn’t until he met up
with Steven Slate in 2002 that he found what he was looking for in
the powerful, hook-driven, rock music of Blackline.

Ross Pitto, Guitar
Ross Pitto began playing electric guitar in college shortly before
his 19th birthday. For the previous two years he played bass
guitar with the desire of following his idol Steve Harris, bassist
for his favorite band, Iron Maiden. During this time he played for
a punk band called Pandemonium while finishing high school in a
small Northern California town outside of Sacramento. Shortly
before his 19th birthday, Ross purchased an Ibanez electric guitar
for songwriting and immediately noticed a stronger bond to the
instrument than with his bass. Within months of switching to
electric guitar Ross found himself rapidly learning music by ear
from bands like Iron Maiden, Dream Theater, and Joe Satriani. Ross
decided to pursue and obtain a BA in Music and an MA in Sound
Design and Recording. During this time Ross practiced for hours on
guitar daily and focused on finding a unique tone that blended his
favorite aspects of his guitar heroes. After finishing UCSB, Ross
moved to LA with the hopes of finding a band to play progressive
metal. Not long after moving, Ross answered a want ad for the band
Blackline who had recently relocated to LA and needed a new
guitarist. Ross joined the band after becoming immediately drawn
to Blackline’s powerful, catchy sound.

Steve Slate, Vocals
Steven Slate started his music career playing guitar at age 11.
Within the next two years he would expand his musical horizons to
the bass, saxophone, harmonica, and drums. Growing up in suburban
New Jersey, he would play his parent’s Beatles records over and
over again, until they finally bought him the whole catalog on
cassette tapes. In his sophomore year of high school, he formed
his first band Luxury Jet Plane in which he was the drummer. The
band had a unique sounding female singer. However, when it came
time to cover the classic Rolling Stones tune “Get Off Of My
Cloud,” the singer felt it was more suited for male vocals. She
put a boom mic behind the drum kit and had Steven sing the tune.
Soon the vocal duties would be split and Steven would sing half of
the bands’ songs behind the drums. Steven would form a few more
bands in high school in which he stepped up to the front man,
playing guitar and singing lead vocals. Influences ranging from
the Beatles to Nirvana to Soundgarden, he began writing what would
become much of the first Blackline album by the time he was a
senior in high school.

Steven attended Northeastern University in Boston where Blackline
was originally formed with Jerry Lyons on drums. The band saw much
success and decided to move to LA where they currently reside with
guitarist Ross Pitto and bassist Lance Cauzey. Steven’s
accomplishments as a singer were noticed as he held the rank of
“#1 best male vocals all time” at www.garageband.com for a number
of months. The band’s first self-entitled album is due out shortly
