and rounded up banjo player-tumed-bassist Marty Nedich and drummer Nick Hook to play the shows.After a two-week stint in Minneapolis’ Terrarium studios with the Grifters’ Dave Shouse, they cut the tracks that would be the basis for the KD6000’s debut, To The Sugar Altar.Īfter Shouse asked the two to play some upcoming shows with the Grifters and Red Red Meat, Deal and Ross “looked at each other and said, ‘I guess we need a band’ Stemming from a clutch of songs Deal began writing in April of last year, Solid State/KD6000 originally counted as its only member Kelley’s friend Jesse Colin Ross, who helped her bring those songs to fruition. It just sounds good, kinda like motocross or something.”īrought on by a simple convergence of idle time and creative energy, the KD6000 hardly warrants familial psychoanalysis. I think 15,000 is the highest state, but 6000 is a state of utter pettiness, very unserene. But 6000 is another state that I sing about in the song, so Kelley Deal 6000 seemed pretty appropriate too. “When I found out that we had to change the name, the drummer said that we should call it the Kelley Deal Experience -he seems to think that’s really hilarious.

How dare this pop culture magazine point a finger at something for being fashionable or trendy? I was reading some magazine doing some ‘where-are-they-now’ thing on heavy metallers, and I got kinda up in arms. “It’s like total Wagnerian rock and I totally love it. “You know the Scorpions album Lonesome Crow?” she says, thinking somehow name-dropping a 20-year-old German heavy-metal album will help clear the issue. Of course the answer is no, but she’s more than willing to elaborate. “Did I tell you I was going to be doing a duet with Sebastian Bach?” asks Kelley Deal, as if the Breeders and Skid Row once toured together.
