Blue Breakfast By Deep Something Tiffanys

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 Denton, 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. Originally, the group called themselves Leper Messiah , but decided to change the name after seeing this name attracted mostly heavy metal fans, due to the Metallica song of the same name.

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 a minor hit, "Halo," also a single from Home, which bubbled under the Hot 100 for many weeks in 1996.

Outside the United States, Byzantium was released in 1998. Byzantium had one single, "She Is." In its home country, the band took much time off between Home and their 2001 album Deep Blue Something , in order to fight US centered copyright issues related to their initial album, 11th Song , which they believed to be of lower quality than their name deserved. The seven year hiatus between albums is believed to be partially responsible for their failure to succeed in the US with their self-titled release. Deep Blue Something was released on Aezra Records, a small independent label, and the album produced four singles: "She Is, a rerelease," "Hell in Itself," "Military Man," and "Parkbench."

Recently, Deep Blue Something has been reactivated, and the band did a short tour in the winter 2007. The band is also planning on releasing new music through iTunes.

Other activities of band members

Todd and Toby Pipes have become successful producers. The bands for which the Pipes brothers have done production work/toured with include Drowning Pool, Flickerstick, Demp, Calhoun, the Greater Good, Coma Rally, Moonshot Radio, and Porter Block. They have earned Best Producer honors from the Fort Worth Weekly three years in a row and have been highlighted in Mix Magazine . The Pipes brothers work primarily out of Bass Propulsion Laboratories in Dallas, a three-studio facility which they also own. The brothers' names also appear in the credits of many releases as studio musicians, known for their expertise in analog synthesis and programming as much as playing guitar and bass.

Todd also works as a high school English teacher and athletics coach for Faith Christian School, a small private school in the Dallas area. Todd has released a solo album, Taurus Petals , on Authentic Records. It was released on November 25, 2008.

Toby Pipes formed the band The Hundred Inevitables, with Jeff Whittington and released an album, Studder , in early 2000. In 2005, he formed a new band Little Black Dress with Nolan Thies. In 2009 they were the first band signed onto Exploding Plastic Records, a new Idol Records sub-label. Their debut album Snow in June was released June 2009.

John Kirtland runs an independent record label, Kirtland Records. Based in Dallas, Texas and Los Angeles, California, Kirtland's business dealings led to his ownership of the back-catalog of the band Bush and royalty rights on the sales of certain albums by the band No Doubt. After selling off his rights to the No Doubt material, Bush remains on the Kirtland label along with indie bands such as Bril and the Burden Brothers.

Clay Bergus has been the General Manager of Perry's, an upscale restaurant in Dallas, since it opened in 2002.
