It is safe to say that The Blackout Crew are something of a marmite band. We here at Love Machine are firmly in the pro-Blackout camp - whatever you think of their music, it is surely a brilliant thing that 6 kids on a youth project in Bolton with no hype and no money effectively created their own massively-popular genre with nothing more than a donk and some home-made youtube videos. It is even better that virtually no-one south of Birmingham understands it. It's almost like UK Garage in reverse.
But anyway, regardless of all this, what is definitively brilliant, is the video below, showing that not only can The Blackout Crew get crowds of thousands of 15-year-olds in Liverpool going mental, but also 50-year-old sign language interpreters. We will be incorporating the signing of 'donk', 'bassline' and 'that's good that Tony, haha sick' into our dance moves at the next Love Machine clubnight.
