Onstage and off, Blane & Shane Gaspard are always the life of the party. These identical twins from central Louisiana are without a doubt Southern boy’s. They’re rowdy and mischievous with lots of charm. It’s a devilish combination that makes for a rockin’ good time.
Blane & Shane’s blend of country and rock is part of the new movement of country music made popular by artists such as Gretchen Wilson, Big & Rich, Montgomery Gentry and Keith Urban. These artists have opened the door for Blane & Shane. Like their contemporaries, the twins write much of their own music and it has helped them shape their musical identities. Their dynamic stage presence comes from the emotion they pour into every song. “We get a little crazy on stage, because we love the reaction we get from the audience,” said Shane. “We especially love the reaction we get from all the beautiful women,” adds Blane.
Their producer, Greg Archilla, is a big name in the music biz, having worked with pop acts Matchbox 20, Edwin McCain and Collective Soul. Archilla described the duo as "heavy metal boys gone bad." Gone country, actually. "The music definitely resembles the attitude of the act," he said. "That's what's unique about them -- the attitude they bring to the table." Archilla said current country stars like Gretchen Wilson and Big and Rich have opened the door to the kind of attitude Shane and Blane possess.
