This self-titled debut from Hollywood sensations Clear Static, evokes images of mascara, frilly shirts, flamboyance, and hedonism. Yet today their gigs draw throngs of eye-lined, glammed-out kids into places like the Viper Room and Key Club and onto the teeming sidewalks outside when not even one more fashion casualty can squeeze into the venue. This band, then, has brought rocks most excessive era back to life and yet their determination to not mimic the past but to play what they want is something that artists from any era can understand. Who are these guys? They're still in their teens (mostly). They grew up close enough to Hollywood to qualify as suburban sprawl but near enough to start catching all-ages shows at age eleven. And what about their sound? Its spacious production, the big drums, smooth bass stylings, the keyboards that wash across the mix or percolate in pinprick rhythms, vocals that drip with high-fashion attitude: It blends echoes of the Romantic era into a fully modern sound, adding up to a unique blend of depth and immediacy, trend-referencing and trend-setting, and spearheading what just may turn into the next wave of dressing and listening taste among club kids nationwide.

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.
