BandLogo Dying
Kill Cupid is a Seattle-based rock trio of transplants from Illinois, Pennsylvania and Texas. Band members Derrick Ruthless and Gator joined forces in February of 2006, branded themselves 'Kill Cupid' (a reference to being tired of love-struck emo lyrics) and played their first show at El Corazon in mid-May. Soon thereafter they were playing local staples such as The Central, The Funhouse, and the High Dive. After recording and releasing an introductory 4-track EP, the band took time to write and record their first full length LP titled 'OK, I'm Dying...' at Egg Studios with legendary engineer/producer Conrad Uno. This self-released album deals with a variety of frustrations including "scene" kids, annoying know-it-alls, and modern religion. Kill Cupid has a video for their first single 'Imposter' and radio play on 99.9 KISW. In 2009, bassist Samantha Wilder joined.
