Our homie Kung Fu Vampire is just killin’ it this year with media coverage…especially in the Bay area of California!  The local CBS affiliate just posted a list of Bay area bands that really stood out this year.  Being that KFV is 20 years into the music game, it’s time he get some recognition!  They had some good things to say about him in this article, but I’ll just post what they said here:

Kung Fu Vampire might sound like a bad horror flick, but this band is said to be San Jose’s version of Alice Cooper or Marilyn Manson music. With a mix of hip-hop, brooding theatrics, garish garb and headed by a rap artist who happens to have a killer work ethic, KFV is now on tour again, despite having finished a recent tour doing 41 shows in 46 days. The band has drawn a cult-like following of ‘horrorcore’ enthusiasts who swarm to the concerts in droves. But, as KFV has stated in recent interviews, “My lyrical content is not shocking.” He says, “My shock factor is in the music and the visual — not the lyric. I want my music to bring you to that dark level — (to meet) whatever your demons are.” KFV continues to work hard to build momentum for the “Love Bites” album. The vampire thinks his time is now, which is why he’s willing to go back on the road after only a few months at home.’

KFV also recently released a new track from his “Love Bites” album for you who are still undecided on picking it up!  The track is called “Bread For Blood” and it features Brother J of X Clan. Listen to it here:
