Killing Amy was dreamed up as a side project whilst John and I were playing with The REOFFENDERS. We'd played with Matt from Trigger Happy ages ago and had wanted to do something with him ever since. We all liked the same type of music, ie modern alternative rock and thought we'd give it a whirl.
We spent a year trying to get a full band lineup sorted - I think we actually had 4 line up changes and only 3 rehearsals including a bassist that we never actually met, which has gotta be some sort of record,! At that point, John said "Sod it! I'll play bass!". Well that was one instrument sorted anyway ;-)
Late last year, I spotted Manuel on the bandmix.co.uk website. We met up for a chat and couldn't stop chattering about bands we liked, gigs we'd been to, etc. There was an audible click.
So four months on, we have 16 songs in the bag and we're working towards doubling that so that we can get out there and gig, hopefully in the Autumn. We can't wait :-D
Oh and who's Amy? We're never going to have a satisfying answer to that one because it was just a random idea, but I do think I might get creative and think of some different answers to tell people ;-)
I'd like to know the names of the members. ;)
