Killola updates!
Killola have joined forces with Aderra, Inc. to create a multi-media, electronic “umbilical cord” that instantly connects the creative process with the audience. Killola and Aderra have introduced an immediate connection with their fans who purchase “Killola Dogtags” either from the band’s merch table while on the road or via the band’s website. While the dog tag may look like a mere trendy fan accoutrement with the band’s logo etched into the surface, it transforms into a matrix of ever-expanding music and video content when jacked into a computer.
Aderra, Inc. has been recording live concerts on USB drives for artists of all genres, such as Lady Gaga, Metallica, The Pixies, and David Gray, but Killola is one of the first bands to embrace Aderra’s new PushOvr™ technology and take it even further. Instead of static MP3s and unevolving digital files that keep fans in anticipation for a band’s new album or recorded music, Killola will create a fluid and growing bridge between themselves and their fans, releasing new music and live performances AS THEY HAPPEN.
Fans who purchase the Killola USB dogtag receive not only the band’s new album, Let’s Get Associated, but also their previous studio albums (Louder! Louder! and I Am The Messer). In addition, when fans plug the USB drive into their computer, they also receive exclusive updates from the band including new songs, remixes, live recordings, music videos and photos. For example, once the band feels that a new song is ready to be sent to their fans, they can upload it onto their USB network, which then distributes it instantly to USB owners. Planned for debut on Thursday, July 22nd is the first streaming video of a “truly” live performance, which will be broadcast simultaneously worldwide and accessible only to fans with the USB. Let’s Get Associated will also be available via physical CD on August 10th, and digital distribution channels such as iTunes.

The Dwarves US/UK Tour Dates
The Dwarves are back on the road and ready to destroy! They’ll be playing a bunch of shows in the US and UK, both as a full band as well as Blag acoustic solo shows.
The Dwarves remain one of the most bizarre and misunderstood bands of all time. Their latest release is a solo effort from masked guitarist HeWhoCanNotBeNamed entitled Sunday School Massacre. The project, engineered and co-produced by Bradley Cook (Counting Crows, Foo Fighters), features many former Dwarves members like Nick Oliveri (Kyuss, Queens of The Stone Age & The Dwarves), Blag Dahlia (The Dwarves, Candy Now), Andy Selway (KMFDM & The Spittin’ Cobras, The Dwarves) and more.
HeWhoCanNotBeNamed will of course be joining the Dwarves they rampage through three months of shows in the US, UK, and Norway:
