Dateline... September 18, 2008, Hollywood, CA

The name “Culture Killers” begins its roots as a thinly veiled protest to the ongoing effort by the mainstream media, along with backing from big corporations, to dull the senses of the individual through mass commercialism and mindless TV programming; eventually stripping them of their autonomy.  

More than happy to use modern media to spread the word and the sound of the band, Culture Killers made its debut appearance on Playboy TV’s “Night Calls,” rocking the socks and the panties off of 800,000 viewers with a sound influenced by such bands as Led Zeppelin, Soundgarden, Velvet Revolver, Van Halen and Guns N’ Roses.

The Hollywood-based foursome — singer/guitarist David George, lead guitarist Delta Starr, bassist Johnny Chambers and drummer Hugo Chavez — have been stoking the big buzz from their very first gigs with a sound that, as Music Connection notes, “is loud, rough and penetrates you to the core.” And, as their band name implies, it’s music that’s all about shooting out your TV, smashing that Xbox and trashing the computer and getting off yer ass and out to live gigs where real rock’n’roll still reigns supreme.

The spotlight shines bright on Culture Killers in Las Vegas where they have performed a cover of the quintessential “Bad Boy” classic, Born To Be Wild, for The Fremont Street Experience “Viva Vision” in Downtown Las Vegas, a nightly audio-visual spectacular on the largest video screen in the world.  The Fremont Street Experience, featuring shows by such legends as Queen, Blue Oyster Cult, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Don McLean (American Pie), is visited by over 17 million people a year.

And now with their debut EP, Culture Killers are ready to bring their driving sound to the masses. With such irresistible, gut punching tunes as “Gone Hollywood” (“Hell yeah, we’re living in a dream land, riding high on the whiskey and the cocaine”) and “Let Me Drive,” the band hot wires the rock’n’roll ride, seizes the wheel, slams the shifter into high gear and puts the pedal to the metal to reach maximum musical overdrive.  It’s hard and heavy rock with snarling guitars and butt-shaking rhythms.  Co-produced and mixed by Rob Beaton, whose credits include work with such acts as Santana, Todd Rundgren, Sammy Hagar and hard rock guitar wizard Buckethead.

George, Starr, And Chambers had already ruled the Midwest rock roost with their band Moaning Lisa in and around their hometown of Kansas City, earning a nomination for Sexiest Cover from Playboy for one of their album releases before moving the band to Hollywood.  Chavez formerly of Prizefighter played briefly with George, Starr, and Chambers in the LA version of Moaning Lisa, and has recently reteamed up with them in Culture Killers

 “There were times when I could barely pay the rent, put food in my mouth and gas in the car,” Says George. “But I’m playing the music I love with guys that I love, and that’s what it’s really all about in rock’n’roll.”  Culture Killers are ready to not just get the party started but keep it rolling, and also prove that real rock’n’roll will never die.
