Biography
"The band was officially founded in the late '98 in Milan (Italy), stemming from the ashes of different bands, and emerging as a six-man wrecking crew destined to send shockwaves throughout the music scene.
k unleashed their first demo "Fake Friends" in 1999, to a flurry of critical acclaim & financial success. However, it was with the band’s trademark signature of devastating live performances that first attracted k's now growing legion of fans.
The band’s undeniable presence did not go unnoticed by labels either, as later in the summer of 1999, k struck a deal with Evident Records (a smaller label based in Milan, Italy), and began work on their full-length debut album "goodbye", but in the year 2000 the band decided to parted ways from the label itself... there's an unreleased version of "goodbye"!!!
Other accomplishments followed as they took over the Rolling Stone Club (a famous venue relocated in Milan, Italy) including an invite as the only italian band on the "Korn Night" (tribute-show for the band's gig in Milan on May 2000). Press and recognition by several respected italian music associations including Rocksound Magazine, Hard Magazine, Psycho! Magazine, Rock.It, Babylon Magazine, Movimenta, Rockitalia, Rumore Magazine
k’s presence even invaded the U.S. where they signed with Pathologic Promotions, a U.S. promotions company based in Michigan. They has also been praised and recognized by a number of U.S. webzines including Undevoured, Dynamic Rock, Nosebleed17, Unrestrained, themusictank, Indulged and Hammerpunch.
Then in 2001, the band signed with another italian label 2KKrecords and finally they released the long waited "revisited" version of their debut album "goodbye" on March 15th, followed by a sold-out showcase at the Rolling Stone Club and an italian tour. In the same year, the band was also selected by Shoutweb (a U.S. webzine), as one of five nominees for the "Unsigned Band Competition", which was awarded to 5-LINE LEGACY (Canada)... k was not far behind.
During the summer of 2001 the guys split amicable with some members, but the big chance for their lives arrives... they we're invited to the "Locobazooka 2002 Festival" in Worcester, MA (U.S.A.) with acts like DISTURBED, NONPOINT, ROLLINS BAND, PUYA, GODHEAD, KITTIE, SWITCHED, BIOHAZARD and other local bands, but due to the events of September 11th, they didn't play.
The year 2002, sees the release of a new EP titled "ultraVIOLENCE" which represents a change of musical direction for the band with more metal and hardcore influences and also the departure of guitarist Lenny and after a few shows of drummer Sig. The guys remains as a four-piece band with the introduction of Dany (former member of GMAD an italian metal-cover band) as their new drummer. During the same year after a couple of shows the band parted ways with him due to an injury.
2003... k recorded a new EP titled "ultraVIOLENCE EXTENDED" with a friend helping them with the drum duties for the gigs. In august they travelled to Hollywood (CA, U.S.A.) to record a new effort with Logan Mader (former member of Machine Head, Soulfly and Medication). That experience was very important for the band because they learned a lot of things...so they were in L.A.!!!...maybe a return??? Actually they have a new drummer (for the 5th time!!!) and they hope to relaase the EP produced by Logan Mader later this year..."
