A.k.a. The Ultraviolets
Compared endlessly by enraptured critics to Mott the Hoople, Velvet Underground, Bob Dylan and New York Dolls, Blow-Up made their debut as teenagers the final days of 1977. They became a fixture on the L.A. scene, recording for legendary indie Bomp Records and providing key songs for motion pictures Up the Academy and Flashback. Their 1984 LP Easy Knowledge made best-of-the-year lists from Mikal Gilmore and Robert Christgau and they were nominated "Best Underground Band" at the 1987 L.A. Weekly awards alongside Social D. and Jane's Addiction.
