Killing Ariella
Consisting of one musician, Mike Woodley, Killing Ariella started about 5 or 6 years ago. Mike started to play guitar and was already focused on writing original music. This he did, and he hasn't stopped yet. He has recorded over 225 original tunes and is still writing more every day. Killing Ariella has a unique sound and plays many fused and normal genres. Woodley is ow looking for band members to collaborate and perform with.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
No much yet. Let me get some more band members first haha.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I have played live a few times. I love it, as stressful as it can be sometimes. The high school talent show with a different band. We killed it. Our performance won the show, even though the juniors won overall. More or less just really fun. Other than that, high school sucked a fuckin nut.
