About Me


Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

Section Gang began in 2002 as a project between three prior musician friends -- Matt (guitar), Chad (drums) and Kilton (vocals). Matt and Chad had been in bands together in the DeKalb County area, and Kilton had done solo and group work of his own nearby. Matt wrote some new songs and rehearsed them with Chad; Kilton liked what he heard and decided to join. After years of intermittent rehearsals (all the while lacking a bassist), they decided to begin a five-song EP at Kilton's Chicago-based home studio in late 2006. Matt and Kilton handled bass duties (and assorted "extra" instruments as necessary) for the sessions. The EP, titled Greater Than Civil, was released August 26, 2008, on the nonprofit Mercury United Media Records label. Chicago-based graphic artist Alex Rearick provided the CD artwork and package design. An LP-length follow-up is planned for 2009.Masthead Banner Made with MyBannerMaker.com!
