Kill the Drama brings Marios Papachristou into the fold
In April 2008, founding member and long-time bassist Ben "Skinny" Solnik informed the band that he was leaving to pursue other opportunities in Chicago. The band and Ben are still on good terms and though his leaving the band was an unwanted surprise, the band has moved forward in replacing him in recent months. After several weeks of auditions, Kill the Drama brought bassist Marios Papachristou into the band. Marios is originally from Tampa, FL and the band is elated to find someone who's meshed so seemlessly with the project. You can learn more about him through his myspace here. "Mars" as the band calls him, will be in the bands new video for "Live Before it Kills You" which debuts next week on post-gazette.com.

From the Kill the Drama blog at Myspace:
New website goes national
Since the KTD website launched a few weeks ago, we've had people from all over the country visit. From Seattle to Connecticut to Florida, we thank all of you for taking the time to see everything we have going on here. We also have updates going on the website all the time so check back. After each show we list the setlist and post any photos submitted by fans in the crowd, and we also just added a section that shows our song catalog (which since we're writing steadily right now its growing all the time). We'll actually be playing out at least two unheard brand new songs at our next show.
The Burning Streets
If you're interested in helping getting the word out either locally or nationwide, please send us over an email (zella@killthedramamusic.com) or myspace message. We're looking to expand our base around the country and need a few willing hands. There will be perks to helping us of course... good things... and we're only asking for people to help in any way they'd like that will help get the word out. Let us know if you have any ideas as we put a plan together for this.
Thanks for your support... KTD
