Knock Out Kaine were formed essentially way back in the heady mists of November 2004. within the confines of "the dungeons" at Ms slavewitch Dominatrix in London. The band was the brainchild of former heavyweight "sleaze rock" champions of the UK, Dean Foxx, and Gary Hunt (both formerly of "SINFUL KIXX", and "RATPACK").
Gary Hunt is a straight talking, foul mouthed, heavy artillery drummer from the Tommy Lee school of "Hammer the F*CK out of dem skins" and although he's never made a home porn movie with Pamela Anderson, he is open to offers from females the length and breadth of the cunt-ry and who knows, maybe even as far afield as Hemel Hempstead.
Dean Foxx bills himself as "The best singer ever to slip from his mother's womb" and who could argue with that. No one really knows what this guy is talking about half the time, which is probably a good thing, because as we know "Inane babble" sells. Dean is a flamboyant and experienced front man taking his influences from the likes of David Lee Roth and Steven Tyler. Quote "I don't want to copy my heroes, I just wanna rip them off!!!"
After flirting with various musical and some rather filthy/dirty projects...
the boys decided that it was time to create KNOCK OUT KAINE, the most debauched and sleazy rock n' roll band to have contaminated the known world since the mighty "Motley". A few different line ups were considered, and in March of 2005 KNOCK OUT KAINE, as we know it, was born.
First recruited was the strange and f*cked up, Jimmy Bohemian. This guy is a total guitar monster, and absolutely perfect for the Knock Out Kaine sound, his blend of blistering Vai/Paul Gilbert style histrionics and funky Aerosmith riffing fitted like the proverbial glove.
The last brick in the KO-KAINE wall came in the form of Mr Lee Mikeal Burn, This guy is a fuckin' animal, A drunken pretty boy car wreck, playing low slung balls to the wall no nonsense bass guitar, with the technique of a Sherman Tank and all the finesse of a North Korean Nuclear testing facility. The dye was cast...
The name KO-KAINE came from the fact that the boys believe that if you wanna "Get High" come to a Knock out Kaine gig (no they're not doleing out lines of the ol' adult icing sugar! But they will give careful consideration to any donations!). In Their own words "This is a party, it ain't depressing or thought provoking, we're not trying to change the world here, it's escapism, come to a KNOCK OUT KAINE gig and forget your worries for a while, live your life vicariously through us for an hour or two, get a little bit wild and we'll come and roll around in the pit with you.
It's colourful, it's pompous, it's raw and it's most definately KO-KAINE!" So look out for KNOCK OUT KAINE cumming to a venue near you, try it, you'll like it!
