Bio
Read more: http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=289245902&blogID=410319250#ixzz0yQuUmhaa .......... .... .......... .... .......... .... .......... .... THE KILLIGANS were born in a filthy garage in 2004, hammered together out of the spare parts of other Nebraska bands and fueled by a love of good whiskey, great friends, late nights, buzzing tattoo needles and crusty old punk rock albums. Starting out small and lacking a promotional budget, word of their awesomeness quickly spread by means of word-of-mouth (mostly drunk-dials) and the band's popularity on several local radio stations, including the University of Nebraska's own 90.3 KRNU. .... The Killigans have existed in various incarnations since their inception, but as their rabid fans will testify, they have never failed to ignite the passions of anyone who wanders close enough to hear their foot-stomping, glass-raising anthems for tenacious underdogs, lonely vagabonds, and anyone who’s just trying to make it in this world. Their rapidly-growing body of work draws from the most enduring, vibrant aspects of American music - the storytelling of folk, the fighting spirit of punk rock, the heartfelt poignancy of country and the unforgiving grit of rock ‘n roll. .... After releasing their first full-length album, BROWN BOTTLE HYMNAL, and uploading their tracks to the internet, the band's fanbase extended far beyond the confines of their beloved Cornhusker state - soon they were sending mail-orders to Australia, New Zealand, Asia and Europe. As it turns out, everyone in the world loves a good drinking song. .... The year 2007 brought their second album, ONE STEP AHEAD OF HELL, which was gobbled up instantly by a rapidly-increasing throng of devotees, and several high-profile gigs supporting bands such as Flogging Molly, the Aggrolites, Street Dogs, the Briggs, Time Again, Left Alone,and Flatfoot 56. The band has since become one of the most revered live acts in the burgeoning Nebraska music scene, and their annual St. Patrick's Day show has become a phenomenon of its own. .... 2010 has been the most exciting year so far for the Killigans. After being contacted by Universal Studios, the boys were pleased to contribute their song "Lessons from the Empty Glass" to be used in the latest big-budget epic historical killfest Robin Hood, which starred that guy who was in Gladiator. Their latest release, HONOR, finds the band shifting gears towards a stripped-down, catchy punk sound infused with rousing Clash-like choruses, circle-pit tempos and nuggets of wry barstool wisdom. HONOR has been well-received by the fans and earned heaps of praise from several websites geared towards independent music, such as ThePunkSite.com, PaddyRock.com and OneKindRadio.com. A summer tour is in the works with plans for longer road trips, louder songs, and more hangovers in the future. Not bad for a bunch of working-class blokes from flyover country. .... .. .. ....
