London, United Kingdom (1994 – 1999)
Six Inch Killaz were a notorious London, UK based punk rock group in the 1990s. All the members were transgendered and the group described itself as “tranny punks on the verge of chaos”. Their live shows were characterised by their uncompromising attitude and by drink and drug fuelled excess, frequent attacks by and on the audience, and instruments played so loud that the music itself was often on the verge of feedback shrouded unlistenability.
Six Inch Killaz formed when guitarist and songwriter Mona Compleine and bass player Luis Hatred met at famous London transvestite nightclub The Way Out. They quickly recruited two renowned beauties from the London drag scene, Jasmine Salome and Holly Cock, as singers. Their first performance was in 1994 at The Way Out Club’s talent night. Soon afterward they recruited Medway scene musician and artist Sexton Ming as drummer. This relationship only lasted for one rehearsal.
In summer 1995, they were joined by Mona’s friend, Miss K, on second guitar and the permanent line up of the band was established. Their primitive sound was established early on by the duelling overdriven amps of Mona and Miss K, underpinned by a monotonous and brutally deprogrammed drum machine (a BOSS Dr Rhythm, beloved of early rap artists) and Luis’ Sid Vicious-esque bass and performance style. Above this backing, Holly and Jasmine would duel in an atonal call-response shouted style.
