Biography

St Louis, United States

Dazzling Killmen were one of the most accomplished 1990s math rock bands, combining a punk-inspired noisy ruckus with jazzy Sun Ra-type intelligence and complex arrangements. The group was composed of midwestern jazz students — drummer Blake Fleming, guitarist Tim Garrigan, bassist Darin Gray — and vocalist Nick Sakes. The St. Louis-based group caught the attention of Skin Graft Records, released two full-length albums, as well as several 7” singles before breaking up.

Today, its members are better known for their later projects — like Fleming’s Laddio Bolocko, The Mars Volta and Electric Turn To Me, Colossamite and Sicbay, and a collaboration between Gray and Jim O’Rourke, Brise-Glace.

    It's like a more intricate, sometimes restrained The Jesus Lizard.

    Great band, why is Dig Our the Switch not listed with their other albums, though? I prefer that one to Face of Collapse

    "Face of Collapse" sounds like a meaner Neurosis.

    I was told these guys were heavy. And my source wasn't wrong. You clearly can hear the influence for all the following psychotic/noise/chaotic hardcore bands. Kiss It Goodbye, anyone?

    Jim, isn't is actually great that there are johnny come latelys? Means this bands' appeal isn't dying. Genre gods. Agitator is one of the most furious songs ever written.
