We chose the name Kyllix specifically for its Greek pottery connotations.

We're a new band, and have played only one gig so far, due to the fact that we don't live in the same place during the school year. Our one gig was at the Lake Erie Garage Rock Music Festival. Ususally your first gig isn't at a festival in a large capacity amphitheater, but ours was. Unfortunately, we got the early morning spot and hardly anyone was there. It was tremendous fun for us and the 12 or 13 people present to witness it!

For us, the internet has a largely positive impact as far as music goes. Downloading music introduced us to alot of our favorite bands and current influences. Smaller label groups really benefited from "illegal" downloading from Napster, and now Kazaa. It is safe to say that 80% of the cds the members of our band own were bought as a result of first listening to the music online. The internet will be a great way of sharing our music with friends, family, and potential fans.

Absolutely, as long as we could make music about large bugs.

Kyllix started in Edinboro, PA in summer 2003 when two brothers and their friend from DC decided it was time to rock. Francis had a bass, and Luke acquired a guitar, and Jesse a drum set. Francis decided to handle the vocal duties. With power trios like Cream and Rush as their inspiration, the group began to write. That summer, one song, The Whale, was written. With a bassist/vocalist living nearly 7 hours away, writing and jamming more proved difficult. In winter 2003-3004 the band wrote some more songs, and finally got around to writing more and recording some material to CD in summer 2004. In June the band decided on the name Kyllix. The name was specifically chosen for its pottery connotations. Using an 8 track with limited equipment, the band recorded the Unlawfully Delicious Demo in July. It is comprised of 7 songs, and features several bizarre musical interludes and good jokes. In August 2004 Kyllix performed at the Lake Erie Garage Rock Festival at the Pepsi Amphitheater in Erie, PA with strobe lights, a bubble machine and a blood-soaked Kyllix flag. In winter 2004-2005 the band reconvened to write and record again. The fruit of that session was the four song Doctor Chocolate demo, featuring the Big Montana, Cicada Syndrome, Crucial Beef, and Tomm the Bullfrog's Area of Conspicuous Consumption. It is of much higher quality than any previous work. Look for more releases and gigs in the very near future. The members of Kyllix take themselves 0% seriously in life, on stage, and while recording. At any time, the Unlawfully Delicious Demo, Doctor Chocolate Demo, and a disc of all collected recordings to date are available. Just ask any band member or email us at the specified address for free copies. Please email us with any questions or comments as well.

Kyllix draws from a true cornucopia of musical influences, including Tool, Black Sabbath, Opeth, Cream, Pantera, Led Zeppelin, Rage Against the Machine, Weird Al Yankovic, Kyuss, Deep Purple, Isis, Pelican, Mastodon, Lamb of God, Primus and a variety of metal and hardcore acts. We have written death metal songs, hard rock songs, plodding stoner metal songs with psychedelic interludes, and danceable pop tunes like Pen Fifteen Club and Enoch Colada. Also, an acoustic ballad "The Adan Song" is in the works.

We play out of Edinboro, Pennsylvania. Hopefully we'll be able to play gigs someday in Erie, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Buffalo, and Washington, DC.

Right now our equipment is pretty basic, and we'll be upgrading fairly soon. Francis has an Ibanez bass and uses a 60 watt Behringer Amp. Luke has an Epiphone guitar and uses an 80 watt Marshall Amp. Jesse plays a Pearl drum set with Sabian cymbals.

This is your band if you like songs about Arby's Roast Beef.
