************************************************************ ****************************************************Based in Hackettstown, New Jersey and equipped with solid original songs as well as popular rock tunes from artists like Heart, Aerosmith, Guns ‘n Roses, Queens of the Stone Age, and Led Zeppelin, the Knockout Naturals pack a punch wherever and whenever they perform. Mike Geacone (electric bass) and Mark Kilianski (electric guitar), although true Jerseyans at heart, hail from Berklee College of Music in Boston. It is there that they hone their skills in search of becoming future virtuoso musicians. Chris Zwarych (drums) just earned his degree in music from Ramapo College of New Jersey, thus solidifying him as not only a skilled drummer, but also a well-rounded musician. Identical twins Carrie and Lindsay Pfeiffer share the task of providing the original material and vocals. As one sings the melody the other backs her up with scintillating harmonies. Tired of playing country/folk music for three years with their former band, Mike, Carrie, and Lindsay set out to form a new group – one with energy, charisma, and grit! So they recruited the best talent they knew. Eager to rock, Mark and Chris joined forces to ultimately create the best damn rock band in northern Jersey… the Knockout Naturals!
