Madison WI, United States

I Voted For Kodos was a five-piece band out of Madison, WI that built an international following through rigorous touring and Internet promotion. They broke up in May of 2007.

Since 2003, the band has averaged 150 shows per year while performing with such national touring acts as Fall Out Boy, Bowling For Soup, Motion City Soundtrack, Relient K, Reel Big Fish, and Lucky Boys Confusion.

They started out as a 10 piece Ska band, lord knows what happened, and then there where 5. On their most recent tour they played with only 4 (for a good part of the tour) because their mellophone player hurt his playing hand.

They have gained massive amounts of popularity through the Internet. They have also been mentioned many times on http://www.21deadmonkeys.com/ (an online comic about ska)

Their major releases include “Close Enough for Ska” a very full sounding ska record. It was recorded with the original Line up. Their next release was “Not Penis Cream” a 6 track EP that took place at some point during one of the first few line up changes. Their newest album “My New Obsession” is the product of the newest line-up change. With Rick on T-bone and Vox, Lee on Mellophone, and Tyler on Guitar. “My New Obsession” was recorded with Sean O’Keefe (Fall Out Boy, Motion City Soundtrack, Hawthorne Heights) and Manny Sanchez (Smashing Pumpkins, Incubus), and delivers track after track of high octane ska infused, synth pop glory. This new album has received much ridicule on the net because Rick uploaded 30 second clips to PureVolume (www.purevolume.com) most of which were not ska. Thus the ska scene felt abandoned by a band they so heartily supported.
