Dazzling Killmen formed in St. Louis in 1990 and consisted of vocalist/guitarist Nick Sakes, drummer Blake Fleming, bassist Darin Gray, and guitarist Tim Garrigan. They created a clutch of singles and two albums, the excellent DIG OUT THE SWITCH and the wildly influential FACE OF COLLAPSE, an album that had a seismic impact on dozens of 21st century metalcore acts (the Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge, Botch, many more). Members of the Killmen went on to any array of math rock and prog titans: The Mars Volta, Colossamite, Sicbay, You Fantastic!, Laddio Bolocko, and more.
In 2025, Sakes and Fleming reactivated the band with Evan Jagels playing bass. Jack Weiss is their current and extremely badass guitarist. The band’s recent shows have been exceptional, an absolutely spectacular return from the dead. A remastered DIG OUT THE SWITCH was reissued in 2025, a deluxe FACE OF COLLAPSE was released in August of this year. You need to see these dudes.
Suckling began last decade as a Texas noise rock supergroup featuring guitarist Brett Bradford (Scratch Acid), drummer John Paul Keenon (World BIzarre, Daniel Johnston), singer/various instruments Ezra Reynolds (the Jazzus Lizard), and bassist Win Wallace (Gorch Fock), but they kicked into gear post-pandemic. Their 2023 album is a modern classic of Texas psychedelia; their most recent release is a single of Jesus Lizard covers. IYKYK.
TRTRS (Tortures) is keeping the noble tradition of Texas noise rock alive, well and screaming at you from the pulpit.
Opening the show is a special appearance by Dirtee Clouds, the solo endeavor of one Kevin Whitley. Dirtee Clouds is a wholly owned subsidiary of MAL-ARTS, an Arts and Actions Organization; the first of the latter is the new Dirtee Clouds digital album/compact disc (it’s the hot new format) LIBRARY MUSIC : HISSING FITS. More will be revealed in the coming weeks.
Fans of heavy music of all kinds, from metal to noise to sludge to punk rock, have been waiting decades to see Dazzling Killmen live. Let everybody know. Interviews are available; contact Nothing is Sacred for details.
