THE RAVENS

It's A Cryin' Shame!

About Me


The Ravens formed in 2001 as a 3 piece playing 60’s garage punk & surf instrumentals. By 2003 we added a fourth member to get a fuller sound.The Ravens are garage minded miscreant underdogs who dig Rock & Roll from all over the world and have spent most of their lives playing Fuzzed out ,Snotty,Cynical,Dark,Raw TX Garage Punk!....................................The Ravens 1st self titled C.D. was also self produced and released on an underground label called Killer Springs,wich 5 songs off of it are on 5 different compilations.1.The Fuzztones Illigitemate Spawn-Sin Records 2.Shakin’ In My boots-Licorice Tree 3.Diggy Diggy Dead-Rubble Records 4.Assasination City Roller Girls-Crystal Clear 5.Lost In Tyme Fanzine comp.-Lost In Tyme ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................ "The Ravens were formed in 2001 by cosmic cats who had a thing for this sound called Fuzz! In keeping the Texas garage scene alive, they have now broadend their home base of big D TX to include other cities across the USA."-Rudi Protrudi of THE FUZZTONES................................................... ............................................................ ............................................................ ...................................THE RAVENS were founded by Lead Guitarist and Frontman Kevin Lee Kilgore as well as Bassist Johnny Cantu after the breakup of thier late 90’s Lo-Fi Garage band The Lipstick Pickups.Kevin was also in the The Mood Swings wich later became The Blackouts,who he rejoined last year and they are playing shows again.The Ravens would like to thank all of our loyal fans throughout the last few years.we were lucky enough to play with bands such as Los Straightjackets,The Woggles,The Deadites,The Upskirts,The Omens,The Ugly Beats,The Gospel Swingers,The Jewws,The Sunday Drunks,Lo-Fives,The Mirrors,the Boss Martians,The Heffners,The Mullins and so many more great bands the list would go on and on.Even though we are no longer playing THE RAVENS won’t say"Never More."We’ll just say so long for now!
