	Killdozer (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Killdozer was a one-of-a-kind band, notable for its unusual harmonic structures, and its hilarious but dead-pan lyrics growled (with dead-serious earnestness) by singer Michael Gerald at the top of his lungs.
		Killdozer is regarded by many to have set the foundation for grunge music, in spite of that genre's association with the city of Seattle.
		The band were stalwarts of Touch and Go Records during its legendary 1980s phase and they often toured with or played alongside stablemates such as Scratch Acid and Big Black.

	Science Fair Projects - Grunge music
		Bands from cities in the U.S. Pacific Northwest, such as Seattle, Olympia, Washington, and Portland, were responsible for creating grunge music and later made it popular with mainstream audiences.
		Grunge bands avoided the complex, high budget presentations that bands from other rock genres such as heavy metal were known for; complex light arrays, pyrotechnics, and other technological visual effects unrelated to playing the music were not part of the concerts.
		Many grunge bands refused to cooperate with major record labels in making radio-friendly hooks, and the labels found new bands that were willing to do so, albeit with a watered-down sound that did not sit well with the genre's long-time fans.

	The New Puritan ReView: Archived Interviews: Michael Gerald (Killdozer)
		Killdozer are a three-piece band hailing from Madison, Wisconsin - the dairy state, of all places.
		While many fans tend to overidentify the band with it's influences, there is an undeniable wealth of good old-fashioned common sense stored within their original songs that reflect the irony of the struggle of the working man, while maintaining a low profile and an almost perverted humor.
		Killdozer plays a number of covers on stage as well as on record, while escaping the restrictions of being a "cover band".

	Killdozer: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more \|\|\| Music.com
		A Madison, WI, trio renowned for their brutal, distorted country blues sound and smirking anti-intellectual stance, Killdozer [+] formed in 1983 around vocalist/bassist Michael Gerald [+], guitarist Bill Hobson [+], and his drummer brother Dan.
		The group issued their debut LP, Intellectuals Are the Shoeshine Boys of the Ruling Elite [+], just a year later, quickly establishing both their menacing swamp rock sound as well as a lyrical outlook virulently attacking social and political malaise while celebrating life on the wrong side of the tracks.
		Upon signing to the Touch and Go label, Killdozer [+] returned in 1985 with the primal Snake Boy [+]; the Burl [+] EP -- a collection of ominous, sludgy folk tunes topped off by a cover of Jessi Colter [+]'s "I'm Not Lisa" -- followed the next year.

	Beneath the Radar: Rock's Greatest Secret Bands
		Both bands have been around since the '70s, both are ongoing concerns, and both are fronted by singers who are generally viewed to be quite the acquired tastes: The Fall's Mark E. Smith is a snarler and Ubu's Thomas is a warbler, and neither of them sounds like anybody else you've heard before.
		Killdozer probably edges Bongwater out when you run for the distance, though, just for balancing their excellent live work with an ongoing series of excellent, long tours; while there was a live four-piece version of Bongwater, they weren't the road warriors that they're Wisconsin contemporaries were.
		Two bands whose members are (or were) very much in the public domain, foibles and failings right alongside triumphs and successes, unlike the Residents, who kept their personas hidden to put the focus squarely on their music.

	Killdozer (1974) Robert Urich, Neville Brand, Clint Walker
		Cases of dynamite and barrels of fuel are no match for the killer machine, and after some disappointingly cheap pyrotechnic effects the camp is in shards and the bulldozer is still none the worse for wear.
		In one of the film's rare and truly well-framed shots (well, all right, the only one) KILLDOZER ascends a hill to tamp out a signal fire the crew has set, and the machine actually looks quite Satanic as it rises up behind the flames with its huge blade lifted skyward.
		KILLDOZER then taunts the group by pushing a load of gravel over the cliffside at the mourners, grazing Dennis and pissing him off some ("Pain makes me snide!") before descending to chase the trio away from the makeshift graveyard.

		Now, I used to be very much the Killdozer man. Even wrote a rock opera for them once ("Wisconsin Death Trip," based on Michael Lesy's book), from which they recorded, but never released, a bunch of songs, telling me that they just weren't satisfied with the way they turned out.
		While Killdozer kept doing the same thing record after record (though, admittedly, doing it better each time around), Swans shifted, evolved, changed dramatically, alienated their diehard fans, took steps forward and back and crossways.
		Their press kit is crammed full of quotes from people writing for a variety of music magazines, all waxing poetic and pretentious about the power of Swans, using terms like "glorious nullification" and "frightening purity." That's all fine and well.

		When the mighty Killdozer finally decided to call it quits in 1996, they embarked on the aptly titled "F**k You, We Quit!" tour, from which this live album is culled.
		Killdozer came together in 1983, long before the advent of the "grunge" movement, which would ultimately hurl many of the people with whom they worked into the limelight.
		Anyway, while it's my fervent belief that Killdozer was the catalyst for the much-needed change that came over the musical landscape in the early '90s, many would say that they were simply the greatest, noisiest, most intelligent (yet, in a strange way, anti-intellectual) band ever to come out of Madison, WI.

	Music: The Garbage Man (Weekly Alibi . 10-12-98)
		Once we finished, we were really proud of the record we had made and realized that to connect with an audience we had to go out there and promote it, go out and play some shows.
		In the band she had been in before, she never got the chance to produce and to write and come up with her own lyrics.
		The funny thing is (Garbage's debut) record really caught people off guard because we're a rock band but we write pop songs and we utilize technology to bring in techno and hip hop and punk rock and whatever.

		Killdozer's new album, Uncompromising War on Art Under the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, is the genre epitomized.
		And like the convicted grudge rockers the are, Killdozer take no prisoners, eradicating the corporate and imperialist entities that make it hard on the people.

	The Rare Vinyl Network :: Alternative - Indie Rock
		Under the cumulative influences of punk and '70s heavy metal (and, occasionally, heroin), a cohort of Seattle bands developed a soulful hard-rock variant that was instrumental to alternative music's early-'90s move overground.
		Maybe the cause was the overpopulation of good bands, maybe the hardcore approach was too strong expecially for bands as Tad and Huggy Bear, maybe the attention of fans and newspapers was more dedicated to the famous drug excesses of Kurt Cobain or Layne Staley.
		(band of the producer and ex-Big Black bassplayer Steve Albini), and Jesus Lizard used to melt a lot of postcore music, with the big influence of traditional American music and of course a lot of Bourbon.

	[No title]
		Michael Gerald was the normal skinny clean-shaven guy with the big growling bearded voice of Killdozer, one of the original "grunge" bands back before Nirvana and Pearl Jam changed the meaning of the word.
		For ten years or so, Wisconsin's Killdozer (Gerald and two men named Hobson) played loud, heavy and slow music with lots of guitar distortion and lyrics inspired by the foibles and problems of the Middle American everyman.
		More importantly, we grew from a band that wore tee shirts and sneakers to a band that wore button-down shirts and polished leather shoes or boots.

		Having exhausted that shtick, however, Killdozer returned to exhume their real roots — on the wrong side of the tracks in one of the few American burgs to have fallen under Socialist rule this half-century.
		That's a plus, because Killdozer is more effective when lumbering along slowly enough to make a novice check the stereo's power supply.
		The Killdozer that broke a lengthy silence with the agitprop-sleeved Uncompromising War on Art Under the Dictatorship of the Proletariat has a new lineup (guitarist Paul Zagoras has supplanted Bill Hobson, whose brother Dan still holds court from the drum throne) and a philosophical shift.

	Marvin Heemeyer
		On the afternoon of 4 June 2004, Heemeyer decided to put his plan into action, and took the finished killdozer on a long, lumbering joyride through the concrete plant, the town hall, and several businesses and homes before becoming stuck in the rubble of a collapsed warehouse.
		By that time, the killdozer was surrounded, and a swat team was firing bullet after bullet at the hull of the beast, only to see the shots ricochet off pitifully while Heemeyer, armed with a rifle, returned fire.
		Heemeyer's attack, though premeditated, apparently had nothing to do with the 1974 TV movie Killdozer, directed by Jerry London and based on a book by Theodore Sturgeon; or, for that matter, the band Killdozer.

		Regardless, Burl [+] itself is a fun slice of madness, with regular producer at the time Butch Vig [+] once again helping to make the trio's vision a rather gruesomely funny reality via this six-song effort.
		The most unlikely of the band's covers closed things out, Jessi Colter [+]'s "I'm Not Lisa," as nuttily trudge-worthy as could be imagined in the band's hands.
		All this loud-as-hell sludge/stomp noise is mixed with kitchen chaos and random quotations from Voltaire as well; it's Killdozer [+] in a nutshell.

	The World According To Kozik
		Whether its advertising, or an enhancement of the fantasy world, that people who like that band are into.
		Something that is either like pretty obvious, or if you know that its for a small show & you know the band intimately something that can be an ironic joke, about their music, hence, the series of Killdozer with really cute animals.
		Both those guys are brilliant artists, they need to be working in different venues, other than the rock poster, because with the rock poster, if it doesn't help the band, it shouldn't exist.

	Prindle Record Reviews - Killdozer
		And personally, I could give a dog's hairy pink thing whether you find him entertaining as long as you acknowledge that Killdozer were much more than just a guy with a funny voice; their music was phenomenal, too.
		This is clearly the band's debut record but, ignoring the weak production, there's a whole darn of a lot to enjoy here.
		See, most folks have never heard of Killdozer because most folks rely on MTV to keep them posted on all the "new music" out there, when, of course, MTV is just a commercial network for the major labels, who wouldn't know a creative band if it came up and bit them in the vas deferens.

		Crappy bands become household names because ClearChannel and their friends at the record labels push them and push them and push them until John Consumer (his actual GIVEN name!) buys their CD.
		I use the term "grunge" because there never was a band like Killdozer that truly epitomized the word and managed to kill off the moniker at the same time.
