LEGEND KILLERS Rock 'n' Roll Personified!! I found that on one of our old show posters from the 80’s the other day when I was looking for something in my mom’s attic and it made me laugh. So I thought I would bring it out of retirement and use it to announce the fact that we’ve got not just one but two big rock shows coming at ya for the Christmas season of 07. That’s right. Just when you probably thought you had heard the last of us we’re back again and ready to personify all that is good about rock. 

It all kicks off on Thursday December 20^th when we will be taking the stage at Norma Jeans 1332 Huron Street for the first time ever. Joining us for what I am sure will be a fine, fine, evening of drunken debauchery will be our old buddies 63 Monroe. Always an electrifying tag team and it’s only 3$ to get in. That’s right 3 measly bucks. A toonie and a loonie. Why bother even charging a cover. Might as well be free but whatever. Just means you’ll have more cash to buy drinks and possibly a few trinkets from the merch table. 

Also if anyone is interested I‘ll be sitting in with What Wave Dave on Radio What Wave CHRW Radio 94.9 that night before the show, between 7-8:30 or so. We’ll be shootin’ the shit and playing some great tunes, you know getting psyched for the show. Maybe we’ll even down a couple pints, who knows.

Any ways, after we blow the crap out of Norma Jeans we’ll be heading back to our favorite venue. Our old stompin’ grounds as it were, Call the Office on Friday December 28^th. Joining us on the 28^th will be. For the first time ever on any stage anywhere the one and only Death Valley Drivers. Although I think there is probably some other bands with that name but I digress. "Booze, drugs, women, fire breathing midgets and demonic flying monkeys. You name it, and that’s what they’re into…. tenfold. Don’t look for their website though. It was shut down for being too ‘evil’ for the internet. Now that’s saying something. Cover charge is 5$, doors open at 9 and as always at Call the Office it’s an all ages show. So you can bring the kids to see the flying demonic monkeys.

So it’s shaping up to be a great festive season. We look forward to tipping a drink or two with you and as always at this time of year. All the best to you from your pals the LEGEND KILLERS.

Hello Friends,

After a brief hiatus the bright lights of rock superstardom have come a calling and it’s time to rock once again. The mighty LEGEND KILLERS will be performing at the Last Drop, located at 511 Talbot St. in London this Friday February 9^th. Also appearing will be Hamilton ’s finest, those loveable, hockey jersey wearing Hartleys, and London ’s best kept rock ‘n’ roll secret, the Nasty Rashes. The doors open at 9 and everything gets underway shortly thereafter. In this day and age when exactly do you ever get to see three straight ahead good time rock ‘n’ roll bands on the same bill for the unbelievably low price of 5$? Other than at a LEGEND KILLERS show I believe the answer to that question would be never, so if you can bear to venture out into the cold we would urge you to come on down, have a few drinks with us and share in the good tunes and the good times.

Other LEGEND KILLER dates that you should be made aware of.

Saturday Feb. 17^th @ the Underground in Hamilton we will be opening for our child hood heroes the Forgotten Rebels.

Friday March 2^nd @ Call the Office with the afore-mentioned Forgotten Rebels

Saturday April 21^st @ Call the Office it’s What Wave Dave’s Birthday Bash! (other bands to be announced)

  Well that’s about it. I hope I didn’t take up too much of your time. Oh yeah, we’ve been nominated for a Jack Richardson Music Award again so if you want to vote for us in any category here’s where you can do so.

The LEGEND KILLERS want you to come to our rock ‘n’ roll show this Friday Nov. 24th. It’s gonna be real good. It’s at a new venue for us. The Last Drop located at 511 Talbot Street . Our good buddies Johnny Terrien and the Bad Lieutenants will be there. They’re playing as well and as most of you already know they kick-ass. It’s only 5$ to get in. The club itself is a two level affair. Pub on the main floor bands upstairs, so if you want you can grab yourselves a last meal before the festivities begin. Upstairs doors open at 9. Bands start at around 10 and go until you know……whenever. It’s gonna be a full night of rock so start preparing yourself now, and we’ll see ya Friday!

The LEGEND KILLERS will be performing their own unique brand of the rock and roll thing down at Call the Office this Saturday night November 4th. I know, we were just there a few weeks a go for one of the asskickingest shows of the year with Supagroup, but an opening came up in their schedule and the call went out. And if there is one thing you should know about us by now is that we don’t turn down opportunities to rock and party with our friends. Another heavyweight of the London rock scene the Terminal Wallys will also be joining us on Saturday night so it’s gonna be as the kids say a “sweet show”

When: Saturday November 4^th

Where: Call the Office

How Much: Only 5$ and $2.25 drinks until 11. (they don’t go up much after that either)

All shows at Call the Office are all-ages licensed events.

Terminal Wallys at 11 Killers at midnight. (all times approx)

Hope to see you there!!

Legend Killers are featured on the Capital Rock Show. This is a great show that features lots of great Canadian bands. Check it out!

Figured it was time to issue a quick update from the plush, well lit offices here at LEGEND KILLERS HQ and just let you know a little bit about what’s going on with the Mighty LEGEND KILLERS these days. Our big cd release show at Call the Office back in July was one hot rockin’ night I’ll tell you what. For those of you who were unable to attend I must say that the blood, the sweat and the beers were really flowing, well not too much blood I don’t think, but lots of sweat and beer and Jager and JD etc. etc. It sure was a fun night and a big thanks from us to everyone who came out, especially those of you who purchased a cd. And speaking of the cd. “We’re Workin’ On It” on What Wave Records, things are really starting to happen. I can feel the momentum on this thing building even as I type this update. The word is getting out and getting around that this is one rockin’ disc.

Just listen to what some of the critics are saying.

“Can I just say how much I'm loving the LEGEND KILLERS new CD? Well-played, well put-together... and in grave danger of being worn out (that's how often I'm playing it!).”

Cora – mygiglist.com

“Sweaty garage rock and roll played from the soul (or sole) of the beat up well-loved Converse high top. Like mainlining Dictators and chasing the devil with The Fleshtones. Honest, hardworking rock and roll not created by fortuitous condition.”

Christopher Duda – Sugarbuzz Magazine

I could go on and on, but I won’t. I would however like to take this opportunity to say another big thanks to everyone at CHRW Radio Western who have really been supporting the cd in a big way. Especially Buck Malibu, In The Red Ryan and of course the Canadian Guru of Garage, What Wave Dave. You can check out all their archived shows at http://www.chrwradio.com   They always play the LEGEND KILLERS!

So that’s about it for now.

If you have not already got your copy the CD can be purchased at the following fine record stores:

Speed City Records. 428 Richmond Street . London Ontario

Grooves. 353 Clarence St. London , Ontario , Canada

Reigning Sound. 272 King st.West #2. Hamilton ONT

Or you purchase it securely online simply by clicking here

"We're Workin On It",is now available for download on Puretracks. Just click on the Puretracks logo to preview the tunes and download the whole cd.

Available on line for $11.99 (plus tax)

"We're Workin On It". That's what we've been saying to people for the last year when they ask us how our cd is coming along. Someone would say. "Hey, how is that cd coming along", and we would say. "We're workin' on it". Well the name kinda stuck so that's what we called it. Pretty catchy eh?

Truth be told we weren't always workin' on it, and that's why it took so long to finish it but it's done now and it's a rockin' little 10 tune garage rock masterpiece that grows on you even more every time you give it a listen. Sort of like a fungus. Only good. A good fungus.

Any ways, do yourself a big favor, and us to, and give it a listen.

The LEGEND KILLERS erstwhile guitar player / motocross racer Alex Howard suffered a tough break over the weekend when he took a spill on his bike which unfortunately resulted in a broken femur. The good news is that, after several hours of surgery and the insertion of a 12" steel rod in his thigh, he's well on the road to recovery. The bad news is that we have had to postpone our June 16th cd release party at Call the Office. Even though Al's recuperative powers have been well documented over the years (the guy can bounce back from a hangover like no other) There is no way he'll be ready to rock by the 16th of June. He should , however be back behind his guitar by early July. Back on his bike? Who knows!

We are in the process of  trying to secure another date and will post it as soon as we know what it will be. Meanwhile if you want to send Al any get well wishes you can email him here.

Tough break for the Al-Man.

Okay this one’s really gonna rock! In fact it could very well be the rock event of the season.

On Wednesday April 19^th, the LEGEND KILLERS will be opening for the one and only SUPERSUCKERS at Call the Office. We are really pumped about this show for several reasons. A couple of them being that this will be the first time we have played a show in London for quite a while, and the big one being that the SUPERSUCKERS are without a doubt one of our all-time favorite bands! For any uninitiated out there I’m telling you right now that you must see the SUPERSUCKERS live, as these guys are one of the most-ass-kicking-est outfits around. In fact I’m sure that the SUPERSUCKERS kick more metaphorical ass in one year than most bands could ever dream of kickin’ in a lifetime full of touring. As I recently read somewhere, “they are one of the last bastions of cool rock!” This is not hype, this is fact. I would not lie to you. These guys rock.

The Supersuckers will be hitting Call the Office on April 19th for a special early show

Happy New Year Everyone,

Check it out, just recently released. Boot 2 The Head. A live compilation of a bunch of great London Ontario punk bands that includes 3 rockin' tunes from your LEGEND KILLERS and was recorded over two nights last summer at Call the Office. The packaging looks great and I've also had the pleasure of listening to the whole thing and all the bands sound great. Especially the LEGEND KILLERS. But that, of course, goes without saying. The cd is available at Speed City Records in London. I know that there are not that many copies left so if you want one of these babies you better act fast!

Hello Friends,

Just a quick note to let you all know that your mighty LEGEND KILLERS will be rocking back into action this coming Saturday night. The venue is good old Call the Office, located at 216 York Street , downtown London . This time around we’ll be backing up Canada ’s punk rock icons the one and only FORGOTTEN REBELS. In all our years of running in the same circles this will only be the second time we’ve had this honour, and I don’t remember the first, so this will undoubtedly be special.

Advance tickets are $14 and can be purchased at Speed City Records.

Hope to see some of you at the show.

Forgotten Rebels frontman Mickey DeSadist is always in fine form when the band plays Call the Office.

Just a quick note to let you know that  your old pals the LEGEND KILLERS are busy dustin’ off their axes, tuning up the pagan skins and limbering up their livers in preparation for a big night of rock festivities that have been slated for next Friday October 21^st  . The setting for this extravaganza will be The SALT LOUNGE, located at 183 King Street in the heart of the entertainment district in beautiful downtown London .

Some of you may not be aware of it but the SALT LOUNGE has recently expanded and installed new sound and lights and I’m sure some other stuff as well, in order to feature the absolute best in live entertainment, and they have booked us to play too so that’s pretty cool. Although this will be the first time for the LKs at the SALT LOUNGE it certainly won’t be the first time we’ve played this room. In fact, before we ever rocked local hotspots such as Call the Office or the Electric Banana or Notes or the Key West or the Embassy or the Brunswick or Mingles or countless other shit-holes I can’t even remember the name of, we started off our illustrious careers at a club called Bullwinkles (not to be confused with Kelly’s Boogie Parlor) which stood exactly where the Salt Lounge is today. Imagine that. We were the regular Wednesday night punk rock house band. A concept that lasted about two weeks I think. But what a great two weeks!  Well it took 20 years but we finally got a weekend and we’re gonna make the most of it, so enough with the history lesson and back to the matter at hand. That being rock, and the LEGEND KILLERS at the Salt Lounge on Oct 21^st. A paltry sum of $5 is all it’s gonna take to get you through the door with good times guaranteed to follow.

Tonight between 7 - 8:30 EST you can catch LEGEND KILLER drummer Jeff Depew CHRW Radio in London. 94.9 on the dial. Jeff will be sitting in with the host of Radio What Wave, Mike "Speedy" Todd, and they will be chatting about the upcoming Boot 2 the Head shows, and playing a few tunes among other things. If you don't live within the radio area you can listen on the internet. Here is the link listen.html

June 17th and 18th the LEGEND KILLERS will be participating in the 2nd Boot to the Head Bash, which will be held at Call the Office right here in London. We missed out on the first Boot show so we are definitely pumped to be a part of it this time around. It's basically a celebration of London punk bands past and present and we will be sharing the stage over the two nights with such other acts as the ZELLOTS, the FLYING SQUAD, the SINNERS as well as our great buddies, the scourge of Huron County, the DCB's, just to name a few.

It's gonna be a great time, that you don't want to miss so come on down. The cover is $6 and for more info on the show just click right here. 

Well we have not been playing many shows but there has been no shortage of activity in the Legend Killer camp lately. Basically we have been working on songs for our new cd, which we will be recording this spring and look to release by late summer or early fall which realistically means by Christmas. We've cooked up a few great new tunes and are really looking forward to unleashing them on the public very soon so check back often for some upcoming gig announcements.

This photo from the Jack Richardson Music Awards was taken by Wayne Rivet of Smash Photography. You can check out some more of his work by clicking here. And speaking of the Awards it was a great time. We saw lots of old pals and rocked the house with a brief but inspired set. Kudos must go out to Ian Gifford, Greg Simpson and Mario Circelli along with everyone else who helped put the show together.

That's all for now.

Grinder - the band

This just announced the LEGEND KILLERS will be hooking up with our buddies the CHICKENS and GRINDER for an all ages show at Call the Office in London on Monday March 21st. GRINDER are based out of Detroit and are fronted by Detroit Red Wings tough guy Darren McCarty. They just signed a Canadian record deal with Rubber Road Records and by all accounts they really rock so this will be a great show. Tickets at the door are $10.00.

Sorry for the lack of updates lately but there has not been a whole lot going on in LK land as of late. New Years Eve at Call the Office was a helluva bash and we've been laying low ever since. Things are starting to get rolling again though. 

It's awards time! The mighty LEGEND KILLERS have been nominated for a Jack Richardson Music Award in our hometown of London, Ontario. Please click on the link below and place a vote for us in the punk/hardcore division. We should have no problem whippin' everyone else in our category but every little bit helps.

We will also be playing a set at the after party for the Gala Awards show which takes place on Sunday April 3rd, at the Phoenix Nightclub in London. The Matadors and Bobnoxious will also be playing so it will be a good time.e

Just remember. A vote for the LEGEND KILLERS is a vote for ROCK!
