About Us

In early 2002 J Arancivia started the BLMG in the attempt to get a little exposure for the bands in the area. At first there really wasnt much going on but in about 6 months the name of the BLMG was getting around and we got a lot of really good feedback about the efforts we were making to get the local bands more exposure. There really wasnt a strong community of musicians in the area and we wanted to change that. Slowly but surely we kept on keeping on and got more bands interested in creating this community in the hopes that it would make it better for all the bands involved. Two years into it we had enough momentum to put on a show sponsored solely by the BLMG. We rented a venue and had our show. The show was great, all the bands had a great time. We didnt make any money, but in the end we at least broke even. If you are interested in joining us hit up our contact page and send us your information. If you like the southern Idaho area and the music scene we have here than we would love to have you as a member!

The BLMG was founded by J Arancivia and in the early days he was assisted by his former band mates, James Rhoads, Dave Carver, and James Thomason. The BLMG is currently ran solely by J Arancivia but is now sponsored by Integrity Computer Consulting which was founded by James Thomason.
