Welcome
This thread is for all fans of the band Kill Hannah, and NOT for the singer Hannah Montana, who has her own thread here.
I have nothing against her/Miley Cyrus as a singer.
Another thing: Just because your name is Hannah, DOES NOT mean that we or the band want to kill you.
If you have any questions about the band, feel free to ask either myself of riffinton.
If you want lyrics to any of the songs, click here.
Rules
Do not quote the first post; it's annoying and pointless.
Try to stay on-topic, because we don't want this thread put in the chatterbox.
That's great if you don't like the band, but if you're going to bash them, please use the Hate Sticky.
Anyone who doesn't follow these simple rules will be put on my ignore list.
Who is Hannah?
According to Mat Devine: “I went to school for a while in a tiny farm town called Normal, Illinois. One night I was at some basement party where a horrible college band was playing Hungry Like the Wolf and I met this waif with purple hair, 3 nose piercings, dressed like a train wreck. She was 16 and attended the local Catholic high school. I thought she was amazing -turns out she was also completely insane.We had a short, bizarre relationship that ended in my first heartbreak ever -really messed me up for a while. Last I heard she's living in Switzerland. Probably stirring things up over there.”
Band Biography
Kill Hannah formed in 1995 in a dorm room at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Although the line-up morphed over the first few years, until the addition of Jon Radtke in 2000, one thing has remained consistent: From the very beginning Kill Hannah have been one of the hardest-working groups in the city. It was not uncommon to see members of the band endure rain and snow to hand out flyers to strangers after shows, as they still do to this day. Eventually the band's determination paid off as a following exploded to the point where Kill Hannah were selling out bi-monthly gigs at Chicago's world-famous Metro club, forging the same path as previous local legends, The Smashing Pumpkins.
Between 1996 and 2002, Kill Hannah also released a slew of albums, singles and EPs independently. All of which quickly sold out of multiple pressings.(One rare EP recently sold at auction for $260.00)
Today the fan base is devoted, passionate and monstrous.
They mimic the band's fashion, max out the bandwidth at the official website (over 20,000 hits per week), and have generated over 110,000 posts on the official message board in the last 4 months alone.

Also, since there's been such an influx of people posting about Hannah Montana, I have a fun fact for you all:
Apparently, the guy who does Kill Hannah's hair does her wigs.
