Death by Fame

About Me

Before Death By Fame, each member had their own projects; Bobby Kiklis and Neil Hanson were members of Swift and John Prata, in Poor Boy Sugar. In 2004, the three members met for a simple jam session to collectively produce music that they were satisfied with. Within a couple weeks, they recognized the potential they had to influence the airwaves. For months, the members of Death By Fame worked diligently with their music, longing for it to be perfected. Through this, it gave them the passion to make their craft more in tune to make their dreams come true. Once Death By Fame started performing, it was evident how much they wanted to be seen and heard. Growing in popularity, Death By Fame has played on both floors of The Middle East, The Paradise, The Palace, Tweeter Center at Locobazooka,toured costa rica,and have also participated in benefit shows to show their support, including charities such as the Tsunami Relief Fund, Cancer Foundations, and the raberta phelix foundation Death By Fame is about the fans. They are receptive of opinions of good music and atmosphere. Which they use to drive their own art. With the passion for their music that they are writing now and they're relentless efforts to be recognized, they hope to take this project as far as they are able to… maybe further. Currently, they have almost four years of friendship, musical chemistry and rapport. As a band, they have the energy and drive to fill an average of three sets of their original songs and have over one hundred shows under their belt. Death By Fame has the talent, dedication, and potential to be world renowned. Death by Fame... it's only the beginning. Listening to Death By Fame live is something else. Not only can you hear catchy original songs from them, they also cover songs from The Beatles, David Bowie, Weezer, Green Day, Billy Idol and many more. Their musical talent ranges from the sway back-and-forth, sing-a-long songs to the pump-your-fist-in-the-air side of the spectrum. You'll find yourself singing along to songs you've heard for the first time. Neil Hanson an energetic and compelling front man has what it takes to entertain and grab your attention while playing his soul out to entertain you. The harmonies of each song are complimented by, "Prata" who is also the Bassist. His harmonies bring out the emotions in songs such as, "Everytime We Say Goodbye", and “My Only Love”. The drummer, "Kika", keeps the rhythm alive with experience and passion. After you've seen them live once, there's no doubt you'd want to see them again, and again..............I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
