Hey guys,

So . . . I changed this story . . . a lot. Oops . . .

I apologise if you don't agree with casting/career choices for Blaine. Also I tried to mix him into the actual world of TV/film etc. so I've moved actual movie dates and awards and stuff around. I hope no one takes offence.

Film

Duval, Sterling, Hardwood, Nixon and Wilson soon joined them and they sung in various restaurants and theme parks. They were scouted by Vincent Harrison in 2011 when he saw them perform at Six Flags.

They released their first album in 2010, entitled Blaine and the Pips. With the release of their single Rough Life they skyrocketed to fame, Rough Life peaking at #1 on the iTunes Hot Singles List and at #1 on the Billboard Top 100, beating out One Direction's What Makes You Beautiful in what is described as a "battle of the boy-bands".

The Pips third studio album – Dreams to Live By – is set to release in the United States early-2013.
