How I Came Across Kiss or Kill: Automatique

Automatique











Playing in a new band in LA, or any city, the one thing I always wanted but couldn't find was that legendary "music scene" that existed somewhere, but somehow nobody knew where it was.

My friend Jon Hershfield hosted a radio show on Killradio.org called "...is good" and Automatique played his show. After, he mentioned meeting Siria, and learning about Kiss or Kill. When he described it to me it sounded like the closest thing to that music scene I had been looking for but never located. He said "It's amazing, it's about 40 or so bands that rotate throughout the month, they do a show every wednesday (it might have been a different night at the time) and it moves around. And they have their own draw, so as a new band it's the best way to make new friends and fans."

Siria came down to see us at the Scene in Glendale (I think it was our fourth show ever) and she seemed to like what we were up to.

A month later we played our first KOK at Safari Sam's and we were freaked out because we were like "there's the most people we've ever seen in front of the stage". Since then we've played KOK half a dozen times and every time it's been better than the last.

We're going to be really sad to see it go. But it was a good run.

Holy Shit!
