Killaflaw
Friday
Killaflaw as a writing and recording entity formed in 2006. Prior to this, the individual members’ musical interests and activities are relatively diverse. Andy Paton cut his teeth composing electronic music, melding various influences, while at the same time adding his own original dimension. This led to him performing extremely innovative and popular live electronics sets, characterised by a hard beat and intelligently delivered improvisation.
Benn Helm on the other hand spent his years prior to Killaflaw in a more rock/blues environment, writing, singing and playing guitar in several bands prior to Killaflaw’s formation. It’s fair to say that singing is the standout quality in Helm’s range of talent. Whether it’s low blues or screeching rock, Helm can find the notes.
The band formed through a common desire to see what the effect would be of combining their respective talents.
There are few acts worldwide that convincingly create and deliver such a crossover sound as Killaflaw and that can be evidenced by the makeup of their current fan base. Fans of everyone from Slayer through to Hot Chip find something in the sound that they can associate with and enjoy.
