"Swathed in red scarves and homemade insignias, the local jazz-punk 20-piece soon sold the captive audience on their brand of highly technical and freewheeling bombast. With no fewer than five vintage squeezeboxes and a horn section blessed with a handful of virtuosos, Killsonic marched their final song out of the venue and finished as they hit the street."
"Killsonic is a sight to behold–the members are all ages and seem to come from all walks of life. I’d describe their set as “emotional” for lack of a better word. The crashing symbols and hardcore horns managed to capture the mood of society right now: the tension, the uncertainty, the euphoria, the anticipation. It really worked for me. Actually, it was so good that we were afraid that Dick Cheney and Sarah Palin were going to bust in any moment and announce that we were all under arrest and that our existences had been vaporized."
KILLSONIC is a musicians' collective operating in the greater Los Angeles area.....
We have two CDs for sale. The first came out in 2007. The cover art looks like this:
Our second CD will be released on 6-27-09. The cover art looks like this:
You can buy them directly from us at our shows. Or you can order here.
But honestly now, we'd prefer if you came up to us and said "Hi!" and then gave us hugs and coyly but sincerely told us how much you liked the show and then asked, "Can I buy a CD?" and then gave us some paper US currency.

Hey you guys, how do I cure my slimy chode syndrome? Any ideas? Should I put a horn on the head and blow? Do you think the slime will spurt everywhere? If so should I wrap a plastic bag around it and then blow or just have towels waiting? What should I do Killsonic? (Curers of slimy penis.)
Missing you guys. I'm gonna suck my thumb tonight when I fall asleep and pretend it's Frank's nose. Or Daddy's chin. Or Savvy's cheek. Or Moobau's right shoulder. Or Mike's hair. Or Chief's toe. Or Ari's eyeballs. Or Charles' teeth. Or Eddi's left nostril. Or Duchinsky's nape. Or Corwin's right nostril. Or Dave's eyebrow. Or Clint's left earlobe. Or Andy's eyelashes. Or Rod's gums. Or Danny's armpit. Or Josh & Justin's 20 fingers. Or Angel's left forearm. Or Sam's left temple. Or Eddie's right earlobe. Or Dan's Adam's Apple. Or...or...(dozing off...)
