Artist description
Kill Hannah now appears to be ready for the proverbial "big time." As exciting as the Ziggy Stardust days of David Bowie, KH has, by word of mouth, amassed a legion of loyal fans who view their live shows as the social event of the month - buying every shirt or CD available, and often stopping traffic for an hour afterwards as they wait for autographs. As headliners, the band consistently fills to capacity bi-monthly performances at Chicago's renowned "Metro" club, forging the same path as previous local legends like The Smashing Pumpkins, Urge Overkill, Veruca Salt and Local H. (Additionally the band has opened for several major touring acts including Stabbing Westward, The Goo Goo Dolls, My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, Placebo and Space)
Tireless self-promoters, KH are considered by some to be the hardest working band in the city. What began as two kids standing out in the rain, handing flyers to strangers outside record stores has translated over time to a monsterous fan base, 6000 CDs sold, a website with over 35,000 visits per week and a very un-midwestern kind of local celebrity status.

Artist History
Formed in 1995 by singer Mat Devine (yes, his real name), KH Features a powerful combination of killer power chords, catchy electronic laden loops and keyboard licks, anthem-like boy-girl vocals, bombastic drum work and an uncanny knack for big radio hooks. Think Smashing Pumpkins meets Garbage. Not only a treat for the ears, but visually appealing as well (The Chicago Sun Times called them "the cutest band in Chicago"), these sonic giants are poised to take over both radio and television. |
