Killed By Art – Alternative/Hard Rock | Springfield, OH

This month I am lucky enough to get to promo an alternative/hard rock band I know extremely well, because it’s a band that I actually front called, Killed By Art!  Due solely to the nomination and support of Killed By Art fans, KBA caught 3rd place in Music Connection’s September Featured Band contest and earned some free promo this month, so I get to actually tell you a little bit about one of my favorite projects ever, Killed By Art!

Just 4 years ago, I was passing through life’s daily grind and doing nothing musically at that time, except singing along with the car stereo or in the shower, when I get this amazing offer to try and sing and front a new hard rock project, and I found I just couldn’t refuse!  I had found a fantastic new outlet of expression for myself, and after some lineup adjustments and song-writing developed nicely in the first year of the project, we finally established a crazy good 5-member lineup (Kimberly Weiss-vocals; Bill Kirkbride-Guitar; Nathan Goff-Guitar & backing vocals; Todd Panstingel-Bass & backing vocals; Brian Wise- Drums) and a name, Killed By Art.

Fraud Hits Local Benefit

It was recently discovered that local woman, Michelle Mundy, for which multiple fundraising benefit shows have been held, is now facing several fraud charges.   She claimed to have stage 4 lymphoma cancer, and many local organizations and bands came together to help raise funds to support her cause.   The local music and business community came together and provided numerous free services to help raise as much funding as possible, only to find out that the funds were not used appropriately.  Check out this article from Buckeye Music Magazine about this fiasco and more about what happened and what happens now!  http://buckeyemusicmagazine.com/pages/Fraud_and_Deciet_Hit_Ohios_Music_Community
