Let me nerd out for a moment as this is not the kind of band we normally post about. I LOVE Kill Hannah . I love Kill Hannah without a cent of irony. Next to the Smashing Pumpkins, they're second to none, the bee's knees, the best thing since sliced bread. I'm embarrassed (and proud) to admit how many times I've seen these guys play over the past decade and how many states I've traveled to for their shows. (I lost track at 84 four years ago. Really.) Back in the [...]

ROBOTIC is going to be nuts tonight. We've got so many friends in town for the holidays. Its probably a good thing that 4LOKOS are so hard to find now.

Hace algunos días Matthew Leone , que quizás conozcan por ser el bajista de la banda Madina Lake , fue hospitalizado hace algunos días por haber intervenido en una disputa doméstica en Chicago . Gracias a este lamentable evento ahora los chicos de The Smashing Pumpkins harán un recital para recaudar fondos para el artista. Leone sufrió un severo trauma cerebral después de haber defendido a una mujer en la calle. El esposo quería pegarle y, por hacer lo correcto, terminó en el hospital. Un tercio del cráneo del bajista [...]
These days the "Smashing Pumpkin" (aka Billy Corgan and revolving door of randoms) make an easy target for ridicule, but any band going out of their way to help a hurting musician deserves commendation. The current incarnation of the Pumpkins do just that on July 27 at a Chicago gig to benefit Matthew Leone, bassist for local band Madina Lake . The Chicago musician suffered brain damage last month after trying to protect a woman from her abusive husband and he needs help paying his medical bills. Like many musicians, he has no insurance. The [...]

The Smashing Pumpkins along with Kill Hannah will return to the Metro on July 27 for the first time in nearly a decade. The concert is a benefit for Matthew Leone, bassist and singer for Madina Lake , who was brutally beaten while attempting to stop a man from attacking the man's wife. Police arrested and charged Justin Pivec, 33, with aggravated battery causing great bodily harm. Leone, 35, who reportedly had swelling in his brain as a result of the assault, is out of the hospital [...]

One has to question why someone would make a Youtube video simply to hate on a band, but it apparently isn't all that uncommon. However, in a public forum like Youtube, it's only a matter of time before the subject of that hate finds the hatred. Kill Hannah found the hater in the video above and did their own remix, which you can check out after the jump...
If seems as if there was any band made for the MySpace (or Hot Topic - if they had one) record label, it would be Love Culture , our very own shoegazer-obsessed, Smashing Pumpkins / Kill Hannah -influenced band of pseudo-goths. Aquamarine , the seven-song EP released in January and available to download for FREE, is not something you'd typically expect to come out of the Columbus music scene. In a city that is recognized by national press for it's lo-fi/shitgaze sound, Love [...]

Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Oklahoma City, San Francisco ..........wait a second...... Oklahoma City?????? That's right, "OKC" has a rapidly growing reputation as an electronic music hotbed, and Kids At The Bar are leading the way. The Oklahoma City based production duo has a self described, "electro-metal-club" style that continues to build momentum with each new release. Their most recent efforts include the remix of Kill Hannah's "New York City Speed" and the freshly dropped remix of Ellie Goulding's "Under The Sheets." Both are monster tracks that show KATB's versatility and pure talent. No single KATB track sounds the same, yet [...]

Je suis récemment tombé sur le remix du morceau New York City Speed du groupe de rock alternatif Kill Hannah par les deux compères qui forment Kids At The Bar et je me suis dit que cela aurait été faire une bêtise que de ne pas approfondir sur ce duo qui nous vient de l'autre côté de l'Atlantique tant ce track m'a scotché. Kids At The Bar donc, c'est l'association assez récente de deux mecs d'Oklahoma City qui ont décidé de nous montrer qu'être [...]

Last year's Halloween Indie Disco podcast got so many downloads that I was thinking of making a new one for today. As I was scratching my head trying to figure out what tracks to use, the good people from Kill Hannah (remember them? If not check out my post about them here ) saved me the trouble. They've sent me a wicked playlist proving that proves they have really good taste. Featuring artists like The Cure , She Wants Revenge , White Lies , Depeche Mode , Nine Inch [...]
