"The Kids Are Getting Restless....."

About Me

Los Angeles based Beat Killers were formed from the ashes of several bands and the members desire to create a music they can at last call their own. Former and current projects of the Beat Killers include: The Fuzztones, The Red Onions, Luis & the Wildfires, Juarez Crime Scene, the Speedies, the Star Mountain Dreamers, The Hexxers and Thee Cormans. The Beat Killers bring eclectic backgrounds and tastes to the table. One can hear influences spanning the music of 1960’s garage & soul, and a touch of 1970s punk. Though members include Texas and New York transplants, the band identifies itself proudly as a LA band. Whether a fan of bands like: The Standells, the Stooges, the MC5, ? and the Mysterians, James Brown, or the Dead Boys, the Beat Killers will have you movin’ at their next show.
