The Killionaires are a Columbus, OH based supergroup whose talents will never be matched. The band consists of members from The Evil Queens, Murder Your Darlings, Pretty Mighty Mighty and Pet UFO. Their debut album entitled, "Live At Practice" is slated for a prestigious CD-R only format release in early 2006. This is sure to be a true collector's item found on dispaly within the walls of the Rock and Roll Hame of Fame some twenty years into the future. The band can rarely be seen due to their strict philosophy that playing shows is pretentious and an exercise in vanity. Killionaires have no webiste. Killionaires have no record label. Killionaires do not pose for photos. Killionaires cannot concern themselves with any of these things. Their only concern is to put on the very best rock and roll show in the world 2-3 times per year. If you happen to catch them, it'll be the best story you'll ever be able to tell your grandchildren.

thanks for letting me be a part of the killionaires for an evening or two...and for that shot of whiskey, i almost didn't make it to work today! woosh!
I've got four words for you...TAKE OUT YOUR EARPLUGS! The Killionaires knocked me off my ass St. Patrick's Day at Little Brothers...Literally! Mod, Soul, Rhythm and Blues, Rock and Roll, the Killionaires do it all and they do it right. Sometimes soulful and blue, sometimes like Godzilla crahing the beach at Tokyo. The Killionaires remind you that you like a style of music that you are totally unfamiliar with. Follow them.
fuck, I didn't even know I had been waiting around for this band forever.
when are you comin to chicago?
-shit, when are you havin us down to Columbus?!
"the killionaires are a force of unimaginable power and style combined into the sexiest rock experience possible in the modern world. without them, your life will achieve a level of suck previously unknown to mankind."
Jonathan Chinn
organist/the killionaires
