SR71

SR-71 was an American alternative rock band that was formed in Baltimore, Maryland.
The name of the band came from SR-71 Blackbird, a supersonic surveillance aircraft of the United States Air Force. The band was originally known as Honor Among Thieves, and as would be the case with SR-71, singer/songwriter/guitarist Mitch Allan was the only constant member.
"Right Now" has appeared in trailers for the films Dude, Where's My Car? and Harold and Kumar go to White Castle.
Mitch Allan appears in the video for Bowling For Soup's adaptation of SR-71's song "1985", walking past the band's garage shaking his head.
Jeff Reid left for medical reasons (lung cancer) and succumbed after a long fight. As of 2007, Beauchemin was working as the guitarist for Vanessa Carlton. After the departure of Beauchemin and Reid, Pat DeMent joined as guitarist and Mike Ruocco as bassist.
