Biography

Beatallica The project was founded in 2001 by original guitarist “Krk Hammetson” and singer “Jaymz Lennfield”. The EP A Garage Dayz Nite was recorded for the annual Spoof Fest concert held in Milwaukee, as a memento of that year’s concert. A few dozen copies of the EP were handed out to friends. Later that year, one of those CDs made its way to Milwaukee resident David Dixon, who created a web page that included mp3s of the songs and named the band “Beatallica”. The band was unaware of the webpage until Dixon finally met them in the summer of 2002, carrying a stack of fan emails from all around the world. Beatallica gave the webpage its blessings, and after further urgings from its internet fanbase, recorded the EP Beatallica, also known as The Grey Album, releasing it online on April 1, 2004.

Later in 2004, the band (including bassist “Kliff McBurtney” and drummer “Ringo Larz”) started to perform at live venues nationally and internationally, with a stage show incorporating elements from both Beatles and Metallica performances. They also played as an opening act for Dream Theater; Mike Portnoy even joined the band on stage for drums on one occasion. During 2005 and 2006 the band toured around the world, playing over 60 shows, including their first London, UK show on April 26th, 2006. Beatallica would go on to perform with likes of Motorhead, Testament, Kreator, Sepultura, LA Guns and play huge summer festivals worldwide, including Milwaukee’s Summerfest, Germany’s Earthshaker Festival, The Netherlands’ Kings of Metal festival, and Korea’s Busan International Rock Festival.
