Knock Out Kaine were formed essentially way back in the heady mists of November 2004.
Gary Hunt is a straight talking, foul mouthed, heavy artillery drummer from the Tommy Lee skool of cool. He’s an over the top stick tricking, tight and charismatic skin beater, with a penchant for onstage theatrics, and although he's never made a home porn movie with Pamela Anderson, he is open to offers from females the length and breadth of Lincoln city centre, and who knows maybe even Newark and Sleaford.
Dean Foxx bills himself as "The best singer ever to slip from his mother's womb" and who could argue with that. No one really knows what this guy is talking about half the time, which is probably a good thing, because as we know "Inane babble" sells. Dean is a flamboyant and experienced front man taking his influences from the likes of David Lee Roth, Vince Neil and Steven Tyler. Quote "I don't copy my heroes, I just rip them off!!!"
Jimmy Bohemian is one strange and fucked up dude… This guy is a total guitar monster, and absolutely perfect for the Knock Out Kaine sound, his blend of blistering six string shred head histrionics and funky riffing fits like the proverbial glove.
The last brick in the K O KAINE wall comes in the form of Mr Lee Mikael Burn, this guy is an animal. A total pretty boy car wreck, playing low slung, balls to the wall, no nonsense bass guitar, with all the finesse of a North Korean nuclear testing facility. This is KNOCK OUT KAINE… This is entertainment!!!
The name K O KAINE comes from the fact that the boys believe that if you wanna "Get High" come to a Knock out Kaine gig (no they're not doling out lines of the ol' adult icing sugar! But they will give careful consideration to any donations!). In Their own words "This is a party, it ain't depressing or thought provoking, we're not trying to change the world here, it's escapism, come to a KNOCK OUT KAINE gig and forget your worries for a while, live your life vicariously through us for an hour or two, get a little bit wild and we'll come and roll around in the dirt with you.
It's colourful, it's pompous, it's raw and it's most definitely K O KAINE!"
So look out for KNOCK OUT KAINE cumming to a venue near you, try it, you’ll like it!
