"Just like Audrey Hepburn, ""Breakfast at Tiffany's"" made Deep Blue Something a star.The American rock group formed in Texas by four students attending the University of North Texas in Denton. The lineup features Todd Pipes on bass and vocals, brother Toby on guitar and vocals, Kirk Tatom on guitar and John Kirtland on drums (who left the group before their hit but eventually returned). This group perfected the easy-going rock sound that became popular during the early ‘90s. When the quartet graduated from the university just northwest of Dallas, they played local gigs before recording their first album, 11th Song. Deep Blue Something was originally named Leper Messiah (David Bowie), but it changed quickly as heavy metal fans formed around the group thinking they were similar to the Metallica-style from which the name came.Deep Blue Something initially appeared on the music scene as an alternative band, but when their hit single was featured on pop radio stations, their sound changed. Their sophomore effort, Home, released the hit single ""Breakfast at Tiffany's"", which made the top five in the United States and the number one spot in the United Kingdom. The album achieved gold record status but hurt bassist Todd Pipes, who was fired from his position at a private Christian school when concerned parents raised the question about their children being taught by a ‘rock & roller.'Throughout the years, Deep Blue Something switched from label to label. They released their debut album with indie Rainmaker, changed to Interscope, and eventually ended up with the Aezra label. Byzantium, the group's third album, was released in 1998 outside of the United States, but the years between the groups second hit album and their third proved to be too much for the quartet. They later released a self-titled album in 2001 but saw little success."
