From http://www.mylifewiththethrillkillkult.com/tkkmain.php

In 1987, Groove Mann and Buzz McCoy met and discovered a shared love of (from the official Web site) “tabloid newspaper tales of sex and Satan, kitschy horror flicks, and trashy exploitation films.” From there they set out on a mission to create their own B-movie ironically titled My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult.

Things didn’t work out exactly as planned, which is unfortunate for film buffs, but most fortunate for us industrial music fans. After signing with Wax Trax Records in 1988, the newly created band My Life With The Trill Kill Kult was off on what would be a more than twenty year career of making controversial music that we can dance to.

Throughout the years and with each subsequent album, TKK reinvented its sound, each time reclaiming its role as a trailblazer in the alternative genre.

In April 2009, TKK released Death Threat on Rustblade and also their own label Sleazebox. Purchase the CD from the official Web site now and get a free poster.

And for a behind the scenes look into the minds of the band’s founders, check out Side-Line Music Magazine’s interview with McCoy and Mann.
