Tupelo, Mississippi: The quaint Southern town that has given birth over the years to Elvis Presley, the American Family Association, and more recently, Cockfight Club. Clearly, Tupelo will be the site of the final battle between Good and Evil in the coming apocalypse. And Cockfight Club is ready...
Cockfight Club is the twisted brainchild of Kenneth Niles Calloway: musician, Mac enthusiast, sci-fi & horror movie buff, and all-around loose cannon. After spending years honing his programming and sequencing skills on various techno projects, sometime in 2003 Ken decided it was time to rock and dusted off his trusty Gibson Flying V. Cockfight Club was born. Drawing from a vast pool of musical influences including industrial rock, punk, metal, techno, electro, new-wave, 80s synth-pop, and all points in between, Ken descended into Area 52, his newly-built basement studio, and spent the next two years cooking up a witches brew of absinthe-fueled musical misanthropy. The first Cockfight Club album, über güber, was finally released in 2005 on Weapons-Grade Records, and just in time for Halloween! There was much rejoicing. Their 2007 release, Acockalypse Now, finds the band expanding upon the themes and sounds of the first album and veering into a new, beautifully terrifying musical territory.
Like Elvis, Cockfight Club's mission is to start a rock and roll revolution, to gyrate their pelvises in front of as many women as possible, and to strike a staggering blow below the Bible Belt. Stay tuned.
