About Me |
|
Blitzkid began in the winter of 1997 in Bluefield, VA. with guitarist/vocalist/songwriter TB Monstrosity and bassist/vocalist/songwriter Argyle Goolsby. After recording a 10 song demo just for fun titled SONGS FOR THE AESTHETICALLY CHALLENGED the band became a bit more serious and gained it's first 3-piece lineup. In 1998, the trio began songwriting, rehearsing, and started playing local gigs. In May of 1999, they recorded the 7-song REVISITED EP. This particular release showcased a more hookladen "horror rock" approach that the band had already hinted at. The recording also showcased some of the band’s most popular material to date in the songs Nadine, the original recording of Slaughter At the Sock Hop, and Hate You Better. By the winter of 1999, Blitzkid entered Lively Sound Studios in Lewisburg, WV to record the 13 song full length TERRIFYING TALES album. Extensive gigs soon followed in their hometown as well as branching out for the first time into surrounding states. Soon afterward, the revamped creeprock trio quickly began work at Real 2 Reel studios in Blacksburg, VA in the summer of 2001 for the 12 track LET FLOWERS DIE album. LFD was unleashed upon unsuspecting fiends December 29th, 2001. In December of 2003, Fiend Force Records(from Germany) began working with the band and placed a track by them on their debut compilation album THIS IS HORRORPUNK, followed by the Euro release of their 2003 recording TRACE OF A STRANGER. Fiend Force Records officially released the Blitzkid/Mister Monster split EP EXHUMING GRAVES AND MAKING DATES. After extensive touring to promote both releases(including the band's first successful stint in Europe with the Spook on the now legendary "EVERYDAY IS HALLOWEEN" tour in October 2004), Blitzkid regrouped with Fiend Force as their official label and continued to play nonstop rounds of shows. In the time that followed, Blitzkid found themselves at SS Studios (Hamilton, NJ.) in May of 2005 tracking what would become their fifth full length album, FIVE CELLARS BELOW. By early 2006, Blitzkid had completed work on the new record and embarked on more live shows that led to them touring Germany once again (to promote the impending release of the new album) successfully with Fiend Force's The Crimson Ghosts in June, and once they returned stateside, the band embarked on their biggest U.S. tour yet that saw them play 58 dates from June 29th to Sept. 12th. On August 25th, 2006, FIVE CELLARS BELOW was released worldwide via Fiend Force Records and in October, the band set out to tour Europe for a third time on the HELL NIGHTS TOUR with labelmates The Rezurex, the Other, and Bloodsucking Zombies from Outer Space. The tour will saw them playing the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Spain, Austria, Holland, Hungary, and The ever kick ass Germany. At the present, Blitzkid plan on continuing to tour to promote FIVE CELLARS BELOW (as well as the newly re-issued classic first album TERRIFYING TALES with an accompanying live dvd courtesy of Cinema Sky Pictures) and early 2007 will see them make their first trip to the west coast as well as the southwest, and more dates in the southeast. Blitzkid is at the forefront of horror rock's bloodsoaked future. Other bands may claim to be the best or the greatest or whatever else, we'll settle with just kicking your ass with something real. Step right up. |
