Saturday, May 10th, Bartleby will be hosting your weekly dose of KALX Live! with Killer Couture.
Killer Couture are an industrial band founded and based in Sacramento, CA. Though starting from influences such as Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, Einstürzende Neubauten, and more, Killer Couture have fused synthesizers and sampling, scrap metal and drum machines, bellowing vocals and machine-gun guitars, to create a driving and dynamic sound that is uniquely their own. Since stepping onto the scene in 2016, they quickly gained a reputation on the West Coast for their intense live shows, known for their frenetic stage energy, audience participation (as well as confrontation), and use of metal and power tools as instruments. In 2018, they self-released their first album “God Forgive The Children”, followed by 2019’s “What’s Left?”. In 2024, they joined Transylvanian Recordings, to release their third and most aggressive album to date, Everything Is Normal.
