About Me

We're working on a new album! Here's a new song:
DOWNLOAD THE NEW SINGLE "TEEN ATHEIST DREAMBOAT" FOR FREE!
(includes awesome cover art)
I'm a ramblin' man.
Current Location: Culver City (for a limited time only)
Our debut EP entitled "Now You're All Fucked," is finally available! They're only 7 dollars (1 dollar per song), and they come in super cool, non breakable packaging made from 100 percent recycled paper. (Eco-friendly much?). And each contains a personalized listing of track 7 handwritten by the band, with lots of unique, super-limited edition variations, including just ten copies that let you name the song yourself!
Here's how you can get yourself a copy:
1. If you're in the area, contact me and we'll meet up. If you don't have my number, just message me.
2. Buy a limited edition totally D.I.Y. album printed on card stock at CDBaby.com .
3. Get the album on iTunes. Got any iTunes gift certificates laying around? Boom bitch, you just got yourself the album for free and helped support true-blue independent music.
Click for iTunes
4. We'll be hanging out at the Venice Beach Boardwalk now and then selling the album. We will announce these events using myspace bulletins so you can meet us there!
If you'd like to become a distributor, or "dealer," of our album, let us know because we will sell the album cheaper in bulk! We'll cut you a deal if you buy as few as 5 copies, whether you're a legitimate record store or just a friend trying to make a quick buck and spread the word about our music!
Thanks for catching us on our socal tour this past summer "NOW YOU'RE ALL TOURED." Next year, get ready for a much bigger and better tour. Hope to see you there!

A BIT ABOUT KILL//KILL PRODUCTIONS
Kill//Kill Productions was founded in 2008 by Culver City musicians Jordan Schmidt and Matthew Olmos, both of the band No Jet Left. Fueled by their love of recording, eschewing of expensive studio time, and constant creative output, Kill//Kill served as both a way for the duo to create music under the NJL moniker whilst expanding their following as both musicians and record producers. Under the production-based hand of Schmidt and the expert engineering knowledge of Olmos, the company soon found their first gig working with fellow local indies Ship of The Rising Sun. More than just a company for personal gain, Kill//Kill chooses to take on acts that they see fit for their own tastes as well as the general public's appreciation. Kill//Kill is now based out of Santa Cruz, CA. Kill//Kill is also an electronic rock act composed and performed by the duo.
The Members of the Crew
Jordan Schmidt: Head producer, mixing assistant, writer, and musician
Matthew Olmos: Engineer, co-producer, head mixer, arranger, and musician
What They Play
Jordan: Guitar, bass, keyboards, drums, and vocals

Other Services than Recording
Within the realm of recording, Kill//Kill also offers the following: Sound/effect design (covered under production, but can also be done to existing songs), mixing, overdub engineering, remixing, arranging, and collaborations of all kinds from writing to being studio musicians. Within the realm outside of recording, Kill//Kill offers artwork for your album, consultations on music, and will make you lunch if you buy time with them and get lucky. And did I mention they have the best deal in town?
