In late 1987, artist/performer Groovie Mann and musician Buzz McCoy met one night in a dark and seedy Chicago bar. Discovering their common love for tabloid newspaper tales of sex and Satan, kitschy horror flicks, and trashy exploitation films, and boys started conjuring up the pot for their own B movie to be called MY LIFE WITH THE THRILL KILL KULT . Yet without much experience and limited access to video equipment, the duo scratched their dreams of celluloid, but decided to transmute the project s accompanying soundtrack into a live band scenario. To accompany their vision, they also formed a trio of bodacious and sultry back-up singers/dancers known collectively as THE BOMB GANG GIRLZ, and later that year the group hit the road!
20 years later, the band continues to tour extensively, and has shared billing with the likes of Siouxsie And The Banshees, Lords Of Acid, Ministry, KMFDM and Marylin Manson, to name but a few. THRILL KILL KULT also continue to record and produce albums, such as 2005 s sleazy homage to the 70 s disco era called GAY, BLACK & MARRIED, and their latest accomplishment; the sultry and depraved THE FILTHIEST SHOW IN TOWN, which was released in April 2007.
