George Hilan

You may know George Hilan from his days in KILBOURN the South side of Chicago's most dangerous metal band ever, or you may know him from the Las Vegas band Lucky .45 which was featured on the VH1 show Ambushed w/The Goo Goo Dolls. Whatever the deal is it has been one hell of a musical journey.George was born on the South Side of Chicago with the full moon rising and a black cat bone. George was largely a self taught musician with influences like KISS, Cheap Trick, Metallica, Slayer, Led Zep & Stevie Ray Vaughn. George's first "REAL" band was KILBOURN with his best friend Travis Carr & Lee "The Wildman" Herrera. This D.I.Y. metal band built up a strong following from their warehouse keggers that are burned into the brains of those who attended. No one else in the chicago scene did it like they did. They self financed the Underlying Pressure demo & toured all over the midwest living like Rockstars with all the Drugs & Women just not the rockstar money. KILBOURN Underlying Pressure is recieving an International Re-Release by RETROSPECT RECORDS Summer 2007 adding to their legacy.George moved to the west coast in the mid 90's and eventually formed the band Lucky .45. Lucky .45 had a revolving door of drummers with Sean Baxter Whitcomb becoming a core member & songwriting partner on bass. Lucky .45 toured all over the west coast & was featured with George on the VH1 show Ambushed w/The Goo Goo Dolls. George got to see first hand how dirty "the biz" was after the VH1 fiasco & disbanded Lucky .45.George has slowed down on his full time music carreer & is selling Real Estate full time in Las Vegas. George would like to thank all of the great friends & musicians he has shared the stage with over the years & wishes them all the best that life has to offer. He is getting the itch to start playing again with a new band so if anyone out there likes what they hear hit him up.
