KAZKILL

Bo & Dabo's 1st gig was Fred & Wilma's wedding reception - that started an illustrious career that has spanned eons. Da boyz were travelin' in a VW bus and passin' the hat in Christian coffee houses before the term "Contemporary Christian Music" was coined by the Nashville Fat Cats & music mogels.

Back in the day t`wuz called Gospel Rock and we gigged with the likes of Randy Matthews, Larry Norman, The Sheep, The Resurrection Band, etc. Then out comes Debbie Boone with "My Father's Eyes" & neon $ signs start blinking in Nashville. Gospel Music rushed to set up tables in the Temple courtyard & to this day sells doves by the ton.

What are 2 disillusioned boyz gonna do? We crawled home to Mama. Da boyz hit the road with Mama Willadean (aka The Mississippi Songbird) for many years playing OLD time Gospel gigs at impressive venues like Fiery Gizzard Baptist Church and The Bucksnort Pentecostal Tabernacle (we know... we're shameless name-droppers). Big Daddy Bill would do the preachin' - we had a grand ole time.

Alas, "life's a vapor" - Big Daddy Bill developed dementia and The Mississippi Songbird had a stroke. What to do, what to do? Thinking back to Bedrock and the bedrock of Rock-N-Roll in dere souls - da boyz decided to remain broke and focus on having fun with what days dey gots left.

In working up a show and video taping it to see what dey got - da boyz came to a stark realization: two 50+ old men inspired by The Beatles & the Stones look kinda ridiculous tryin' to rock out and play to crowds who've never walked across the room to change a TV channel (not to mention feed and water Dino).

After much prayer and meditation, da boyz turned to the source of ALL American music - dem Blues. Christian music set to da Blues? "Heresy!" the establishment cries... "there's no such thing as blues in the Christian lifestyle!"

To them - we impolitely thumb our noses. In da 50 + years we been livin' for the Lord we've experienced divorce, financial ruin, alcoholism, visiting loved ones in jail, deaths of old drugs, sex & Rock-N-Roll buddies and it ain't been happy, happy - joy, joy all dat time.

So what's yer point? Whadda ya got dat anybody else ain't got? H-O-P-E in Christ.

KAZKILL put out "Code Blues" (a reference to the Big Brother world in which we live) in 2006 and in May of 2007 released "Dance of Innocence". In large part due to their Rock-N-Roll background their 1st offering produced Chicago style Blues which ain't really what 2 boyz from da glorious Southland are all about. "Dance" is much more that inbred Delta groove. Bo & Dabo are already in the studio working on an accoustic Blues project that reminisces their poor white trash Mississippi/Tennessee heritage even more closely.

KAZKILL'z produced lotsa projects over the years but only 2 matter at this time: "Code Blues" & "Dance of Innocence". Keep watching... dem boyz ain't dead yet.
