About Me

LKK started in the summer of 1992 in Houston, Texas. Like many bands we went through many ups and downs as well as members.We played with many bands at home and on tour such as: Rancid,Lunachicks,Face to Face,RKL,Lagwagon,Ten Foot Pole,The Ataris(97),Jugheads Revenge,Zeke,Horace Pinker,Avail,Guttermouth,The Goops,Screw 32,Voodoo Glow Skulls,Funbox,The Nobody’s,Strung Out,No Use For A Name,Jawbreaker,Gob,Against All Authority,River Fenix(Fenix TX)...etcIn 2001 we finally call it quits...UPDATE 3-20-2008...What’s up? The NOFX show in Houston was amazing. It was great to see friends from back in the days that were still down with the LKK family. Thanks for everyone’s support.FYI….we’re playing with Bad Religion in Las Vegas @ the House of Blues. We’re so stoked to play with BR. We’ve all been listening to BR since we were like 12 years old. BR has been a HUGE influence of LKK. Yet I digress!!!!Our line up has made a few changes. JJ, my brother was here temporarily to help us out. THANKS JJ!!! (Go check out his hardcore band World Burns to Death) Dave NG, who was also temporary, has decided to move on to become a singer songwriter. THANKS DAVE for helping out!!!!! We love you bro’.We’ve been working the last month with Donnie Reyes. Exactly, Donnie was the drummer for Fenix TX. LKK and Donnie have been friends since we were kids going to Pennywise and Rancid shows at Goats Head Soup in Houston, TX. Donnie has brought exuberance and a lot of heart to the team. You’ll be stoked to hear him kill it next time we play.I’d like to announce the long awaited, much anticipated return of Marc Manic!!!!!!! Marc will be wearing his usual rock apparel, leopard striped underwear etc…. while rocking out to Sabbath shortly before we go on each night. Marc arrived at practice the other night, picked up his axe and destroyed the set on the first run through. I think everyone will be stoked to see Marc back on the team.We are in the process of writing a lot of new material. We should have all the new songs written by the end of summer. Although, we’ll be playing some new material by May.LKK is definitely locked & loaded and ready to go hang out with our family in Vegas. I’ll see everyone up front and center!!!!!TimLKK 08’
