START A FUCKING REVOLUTION

About Me



A recent review Of my style: "YOU ARE A TALENTED AND SENSIBLE PROGRAMMER"- EN ESCH.
Yeah, that’s right. EN ESCH. Of SLICK IDIOT and KMFDM. THAT EN ESCH.

I’m brian botkiller.

I’ve been a musician for fourteen of my twenty-six years on this earth. I will be for each and every year I have left here. I’ve played in as many bands as I am years old. I’ve been most successful in playing in the past four years, when I finally decided to start doing things for myself and realizing that no one is going to get me to the top but me.
I’ve run record labels, promoted at least as many shows as there are days in the year, and my name has appeared on at least ten CD’s. I play somewhere in the range of six instruments, and I’m averaging at least five live shows a month right now here in my hometown of Albuquerque, NM.
I’m one of the hardest working people in the electronic music scene, along with my friends in Diverje, ZRAM, Alchemical Burn, Autopoesis and Vertigo Venus. We promote, play shows and pack houses, we’re always the bands that make flyers and get them out, while other bands just expect people to show up.
I am always looking to play more live shows. If you’re interested in booking me, email me at [email protected] .
I give out free CD’s to people who send me salute pictures (see below). I work hard, I make good music. If you have a problem with what I do, that’s fine. Five more people after you will love it, and when your craptacular band is crashed in a year, I’ll still be playing and doing what I do best; rocking the house.
I’ll have you know that brian botkiller is a registered f’ing trademark - so please, find another name, if you’re planning on spoofing me. There’s only one botkiller, and that’s me. If you wanna fight it out, I’m all for it. I’ll tweak your ass accross the cross-fade.
MY PROJECTS:
I drum in the following bands:
DIVERJE:
VERTIGO VENUS:
zRAM:
WHY SHOULD YOU SUPPORT ANYTHING I DO?
Because you’re here, and you’re listening, and you care. That’s why.
BUY MERCHANDISE, SUPPORT ME:
FREE STICKERS WITH ANY PURCHASE. HERE’S HOW BUYING WORKS:
I ship using the United States Postal Service, as it’s one of the only government services that actually works. Payments are processed using PAYPAL. I don’t like to get paid in cash thru the mail, sorry - it’s just messy. You can catch me at a show if you prefer to not pay thru the Internet.
