 hat has become the relentlessly-touring sonic assault known as The Koffin 
 Kats was laid near Detroit\, Michigan when Vic Victor (Lead Vocalist\, Upr
 ight Bass) joined forces with long-time friend Tommy Koffin (Guitar). Afte
 r adding Damian Detroit (Drums) the band kicked off in June 2003\, stoppin
 g for nothing. Now\, with over ten years of touring internationally and ov
 er two thousand live shows\, the touring trio’s current home is out on t
 he open road.\n\nThe Koffin Kats began by putting together songs with such
  subjects as dealing with the horrors of the real world\, as well as Scien
 ce Fiction. The band started in small local bars playing for beer\, hoping
  for gas money\, and eventually made their way out of the Midwest. The nex
 t couple of years contained positives including numerous North American to
 urs\, and negatives concerning changes at the drumming position. During th
 is time they released their first three albums: Koffin Kats (2003)\, Inhum
 ane (2005)\, and Straying From The Pack (2006).\n\nThe three album release
 s and their supporting tours gained attention for The Koffin Kats and help
 ed get the band noticed in the wide world of punk and psychobilly. In 2007
  Vic and Tommy connected with drummer Eric “E-Ball” Walls to record th
 e band’s fourth studio album\, Drunk In The Daylight (2008)\, and cataly
 zed what the band is now known for: love for their fans and the road\, and
  playing everywhere for everyone willing to watch and listen.\n\nIn the ye
 ars following the release of Drunk In The Daylight\, The Koffin Kats have 
 established their name performing in Europe\, and have also been included 
 on tours with some of the tops acts in psychobilly\, including\, but not l
 imited to\, Mad Sin\, Nekromantix\, and The Meteors. In 2009 the trio rele
 ased their fifth studio album\, Forever For Hire\, and Tommy departed at t
 he year’s end to pursue a normal life. Shortly thereafter\, “EZ” Ian
  Jarrell took over the guitarist position and joined the band on tour. Whi
 le on the road they worked on the material that would become featured on t
 heir split album with fellow psychobilly act 12 Step Rebels\, From Our Han
 ds To Yours (2011).\n\nThe Koffin Kats signed with Sailor’s Grave Record
 s in late 2011\, and released Our Way & The Highway in January 2012. The t
 rio supported their sixth studio album’s release with non-stop internati
 onal touring\, finally ending in summer of 2013. In autumn of the same yea
 r\, they released another full-length album with Sailor’s Grave Records
 \, Born Of The Motor.\n\nEarly 2014 brought another change to The Koffin K
 ats’ member roster. Ian Jarrell left the band to handle personal busines
 s at home in Albuquerque\, New Mexico. Not wanting to bring someone too fa
 r removed from The Koffin Kats family into the fold\, Vic and Eric enliste
 d John Kay (Guitar). John was the engineer on some previous KK recordings.
 \n\nThe founding lineup returned in 2016.\n\nSix years after his departure
 \, Tommy Koffin returned to playing guitar with The Koffin Kats. With Vic 
 Victor on lead vocals and upright bass\, and E Ball Walls on drums. In 201
 7\, the trio self released the album “Party Time In The End Times” und
 er the Koffin Kats Records label. The band toured throughout the following
  years until the Covid 19 Pandemic brought live entertainment to a halt.\n
 \nDuring the unexpected break from touring\, the band took time to write a
 nd record. Vic and Tommy put together an acoustic release called “Victor
  & Koffinfunkle.” Back in writing mode they then focused on new material
 . This brought about the early 2021 self release of “Ya Can’t Take It 
 With Ya.” A 6 track EP.\n\nThe band continues to tour and is currently w
 orking on new material to release throughout 2023\, their 20th anniversary
  year.\n\nYou can keep up with Koffin Kats on all of the social media outl
 ets. The band likes to keep it “old school” and suggests you check out
  their website at www.koffinkatsrock.com for all official information on n
 ews and tours.\n\nBoletos: https://dice.fm/event/v3x9r6-koffin-kats-9th-oc
