biographical info
In May 2002 the Fabulous Kildonans unveiled their rock-solid sound, look and attitude with the release of the Bang on Saigon Pussy E.P. and a barrage of explosive, sonic and intense live shows. This Winnipeg based trio, consisting of legend Mark Stretch Mark (bass), Fat Johnny (guitar) and Sterling Stardom (drums), were out to prove that they have more than enough of the good stuff to shred the jaded and tired world of generic ROCK to pieces.
The bands fan base and popularity has continued to grow in recent years with the release of 2 full length records - God is a woman and shes pro choice in 2003 and Cock: A celebration of male power & strength in 2004.
2005 was a busy year for the band with a stand-out track on the Winnipeg produced Guess Whos Home Guess Who tribute CD which has been released nationally, received airplay on many Canadian college radio stations and has charted on the National Campus Radio Top 50. The Fabulous Kildonans were Januarys feature cover story of Winnipegs Uptown Magazine, had a feature article in the July issue of Nerve Magazine distributed nationally from Vancouver, and participated in JunoFest 2005 as part of the Juno Awards celebration in Winnipeg last April. As well, the band recently launched fabulouskildonans.com, played an acoustic set with Grant Hart (Husker Du) last May and headlined the citys most successful mainstage Canada Day celebration at the Forks on July 1st, playing for an estimated 25,000 people. 2006 looks to be even more promising for the Fab Ks, with the national release of their 3rd full-length record Bottle Rocket on Transistor 66 Records.
With too many live shows to document between the 3 members, at one time or another, have shared the stage with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Social Distortion, Supersuckers, Circle Jerks, DOA, Grant Hart (Husker Du), Meat Puppets, SNFU, Soul Asylum, Treble Charger, RATT, The Vandals, Crash Test Dummies and the Barenaked Ladies.
