Today’s band profile comes to us not from the relatively laurel-resting arena of the finals or even the winners’ circle of the semi-finals. This band of intrepid Rockers still need to win the local competition at the Showboat in order to go on to the eastern regional semi-finals. They’ll be playing there tomorrow, April 24. The competition starts at 8 PM. Click that link for more info.

The Gurn Killers are Joel Micalizzi (bass), Chris Daou (guitar), Luca Fusi (vocals), and Miguel Molinari (drums), four friends from the mean streets of New York City who just love to rock.

The Gurn Killers are regulars at New York City’s Almost Famous Tuesdays, a staple in the metro Rock Band 2 competition scene.

They made it this far by sweeping the competition at the Showboat on March 20, playing the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Give It Away” (a favorite not only of this Blogmaster but of lots of people, apparently) with 2,119,072 points.

It’s true! There’s photographic proof of this.

I'm no mathematician, but that looks like a big number.

So how confident are they that they’ll bring it home once more in tonight’s competition? “Gotta beat some world class players to make it to the regionals,” says drummer Miguel. That is true.

We wish the guys the best of luck as they attempt to claim a place in the semi-finals. If you’d like to check out their kicking site filled with Rock Band news, go to RockGamer.com.
