Blake/e/e/e (pronounced "Blake-ie") is a Bologna based music project. The band currently consists of Paolo Iocca, Marcella Riccardi and Mattia Boscolo. The lineup has seen other members switching roles: Davy DeLaFuente, Oren Wagner, Egle Sommacal, Bruno Germano and Marcello Petruzzi.

Marcella Riccardi and Paolo Iocca met in 2002 and started recording together under the moniker of Franklin Delano, releasing 3 albums and touring both the States and Europe a number of times. In 2007 they decided to disband and start Blake/e/e/e to further develop their work with a freer approach.

Although the band is often classified as psych folk/dub/post punk, it is hard to define Blake/e/e/e sound as they often experiment with diverse styles and ideas. Their debut album, Border Radio (Unhip Records, 2008), has been defined as "Beach Boys go to church where the church becomes a mutant disco".

The band has recently toured the States and Europe and is currently working on new material. An Ep is going to be released in January 2010.
