KILL THE DANDIES! were found by La Petite Sonja /voc., keyb., synth./ and Hank J. Manchini /voc., guit./, who´ve met in the band The Nihilsts, with an guitarist Richard Fischer. The trio was joined by hammering drummer Vratislav Placheta and a bass man Michal Hořejší. Within the last three years of it´s quiet existence, this remarkable gang from Prague played many gigs at home, in the Czech Republic, and abroad in Germany, Great Britain, Switzerland, France, Slovakia, Hungary etc.
KTD!’s ingredients for this leathal sonic cocktail are sixties‘ garage rock with thick layers of hammonds, analog synths and wild guitar bites. Their sources of inspiration run deep, from The Cramps-esque psychotic rock’n’roll, Lee Hazlewood’s loli-poppy country ballads, The Velvet Underground’s unbrushed rawness, to Phil Spector’s noisy wall of sound. Maybe this is why KTD! are so sweet and dangerous at the same time.
Their long awaited fits album I Saw White Fields was released in 2010 on the band’s own label Drug Me Records, worldwide distributed by Pale Music Int. Producing album were the „Dandies“ themselves together with the legendary „flying“ Dutch man Bert Neven, amongst many others known for working with the Killing Jokes. European release was supported by the tour to Germany, France and Switzerland.
After the band came back, they started to record a new album. For their second album Those Who Hold The Flame the band teamed up with Bert Neven again and, again, produced this album on their own label. The album contains eight original songs and a superb cover version of The King of Kalifornia which was originally played by Rowland S. Howard. This album has risen many excited reactions in the Czech Republic and is impatiently awaited abroad. It´s gonna be released and distributed by Pale Music Int. and it is going to be published via Blass Music/Freibank.
