My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult

About

Founded by Groovie Mann and Buzz McCoy, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult is an American electronic industrial rock band originally based in Chicago. Often shortened to Thrill Kill Kult or TKK, the group became known in the 1980s as pioneers of the industrial music genre. By the early 1990s, they shifted toward a more disco-oriented sound while achieving several hits on the U.S. dance club and alternative charts. The band gained notoriety as a frequent target of censorship groups, including the PMRC, which objected to their humorous and satirical references to Satan, Jesus, and sex in both their lyrics and stage performances. During this period, they contributed songs to several movie soundtracks and appeared in the 1994 film The Crow. My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult has maintained an active presence in the music industry, continuing to record and tour with a rotating lineup alongside core members Mann and McCoy. The band marked its 30th anniversary in 2017.
