Deep Blue Something
DEEP BLUE SOMETHING
Deep Blue Something is an American rock band best known for its hit single "Breakfast at Tiffany's." The group was founded in 1993 in Huntsville, Texas by students Todd and Toby Pipes, Clay Bergus and John Kirtland. Bergus left the band before "Tiffany's" became a hit and was replaced by guitarist Kirk Tatom, but eventually returned to that role.
The band's first record, 11th Song, is from 1993. In 1994 (and again, on another label in 1995) the band released their second album, Home. The accompanying single "Breakfast at Tiffany's" reached the top five in the United States and number one in the United Kingdom. The lyrics of the song were inspired by Audrey Hepburn's performance in the feature film Roman Holiday, but the author, Todd David Pipes, thought that one of Hepburn's other films would make a better song title.
The band also had two minor hits from Home, "Halo" which bubbled under the Hot 100 for many weeks in 1996 and "Josey" which peaked at #27 in the UK.
Outside the United States, Byzantium was released in 1998. Byzantium had one single, "She Is." Deep Blue Something was released on Aezra Records, an independent label, and the album produced four singles: "She Is, a rerelease," "Hell in Itself," "Military Man," and "Parkbench."
