[edit] History
Blake Fleming started drumming at age 8, and spent several years in Fife and drumming corps, bagpipe bands, jazz bands, orchestras, etc. His first band was Dazzling Killmen, which he joined at age 15. Later he played with the Japanese prog-punk band Zeni Geva. He then moved from St. Louis to New York City and formed the instrumental band Laddio Bolocko. After breaking up Laddio, he moved to Los Angeles and helped start The Mars Volta in 2001, but left after only recording a handful of demos. He also drummed on Omar Rodriguez-Lopez's solo album 'A Manual Dexterity: Soundtrack Volume 1'. He then returned to New York City to form Electric Turn To Me, which in turn broke up in 2006. He rejoined The Mars Volta after drummer Jon Theodore's departure on July 28th, 2006. He was later replaced by Deantoni Parks for the remainder of the 2006 tour.
