Originally called Two-Percent Milton, Earl's Killer Squirrel got their start on April 6th 1994 at a Sluggo's open mic night. Originally a 3-piece with Earl Lyon on vocals and guitar, Mike Lyon on drums, and Ted Helmick on bass. 5 months later, Rymodee joined the band as a second guitarist. This line-up was together until May of 1997. Pat Ross played a couple of months with the band too. Rymodee and Ted went on to fame in a band called This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb. The band was on hiatus until December of 1997, when Dave Kober took over on bass. Doug Gilmore joined the band for a short time in '98 too. Mike left the band in November of 1998. Dave had played in a local band called the Unemployed. He looked up his old drumming buddy Jeff Rahn and he agreed to play drums. this line-up of EkS began playing in December of 1998. Mike came back to play guitar for the Squirrel for a short time from late 2000 through the summer of 2001. E. K. S. made it into Springfest(an annual music fest with a who's who of local and national acts) in the year 2001. Some of the bands E.K. S. has performed with include the Faint, Fury 66, 88 Finger Louie, the Huntingtons, Sir Mix-Alot, J Church, Good Riddance, Boy Sets Fire, Stretch Armstrong, The Wednesdays, Goober Patrol and Millencolin, to name a few. In June of 2006, Benny, an old friend of Dave's and Earl, joined the Squirrel briefly, to add some deft guitar skills and leads. Palmer filled in on drums nicely for the Hifi Handgrenades show back on October 3rd 2007. As of March 2009, EkS has been recruiting some new Squirrels. So keep your eyes and ears open. And hide the acorns!
