----NEW ENERGY----
So what is Machine Gun Kelly? Sonically speaking of course, it’s a melodic groove that says more than just a catchy pop hook. It is a rock song that won’t let you turn away. It is upbeat, harmonious, and in your face all at the same time. MGK combines a fusion of powerful Vocals, innovative Harmony, virtuoso Guitar riffs, transcendent Bass guitar rhythm, and raw Percussion that brings it all together. MGK brings unmatched energy to songwriting, breaking down barriers with each new melody they write. When you hear it you will know.
----HEAR NO EVIL----
By way of New Hampshire, Illinois and Arizona, MGK came together in the music-friendly haven of Chicago. Brothers Matt and Mark Walus laid out a vision for funk driven Rock music that would catch the scene off-guard. Guitarist Kunal Ganti saw an opportunity to flex his creative muscles with the band and joined in June of 2005. Luke Cho, one of Chicago’s most versatile bassists, joined the band in September of 2006, after the bass throne was vacated by John Shaffer. Unfortunately, he was forced to move on due to other commitments early in 2007. June of 2007 marked the anticipated arrival of Chris Deiter, a multi-talented low-ender with excellent vocal ability and a perfect fit in the chemistry of MGK. Look for great things to come as we fall right back into step!
----SYNERGY----
Since its inception, the band has consistently put on entertaining shows at venues such as Wise Fools Pub, Otto’s of Dekalb, Silvie’s Lounge, Stage 83 and the Elbo Room among many others. MGK gives its fans a well-deserved break from mediocrity. Too long have they been poisoned by the normal and marred by the mundane. Come experience a new direction in music. Satisfaction guaranteed.
