Killsonic: A 24-Piece L.A. Big Band’s “Cloud of Noise”
“Swathed in red scarves and homemade insignias, the local jazz-punk 20-piece soon sold the captive audience on their brand of highly technical and freewheeling bombast. With no fewer than five vintage squeezeboxes and a horn section blessed with a handful of virtuosos, Killsonic marched their final song out of the venue and finished as they hit the street.”
“Members of Killsonic…enjoy squeezing their 20-plus members unannounced into galleries to play a few tunes during the monthly art walk.”

“Killsonic is a sight to behold–the members are all ages and seem to come from all walks of life. I’d describe their set as “emotional” for lack of a better word. The crashing symbols and hardcore horns managed to capture the mood of society right now: the tension, the uncertainty, the euphoria, the anticipation. It really worked for me. Actually, it was so good that we were afraid that Dick Cheney and Sarah Palin were going to bust in any moment and announce that we were all under arrest and that our existences had been vaporized.”
“Suddenly the 20-piece Killsonic Marching Band rose between them: five accordions, every kind of brass, drums, and a howling megaphone made a most enchanting and bizarre environment for a New Year’s Eve kiss.”
