Silly Killers - Knife Manul E.P. 7″
May 18th, 2006 at 5:25 am
“Killed By Death Vol. 12″ has “Knife Manual” but “Social Bitch” is the killer track! From Hyped 2 Death: “TheSilly Killers were the last of three terrific punk bands on the excellent No Threes label to share a drummer named Duff McKagan. His later career in Guns’n'Roses probably kept more punks from checking out “Knife Manual” than it attracted Leader Chris “Slats” Harvey now helms a band called Pain Cocktail.” All tracks goes out to Brian from Portland who lost his whole collection and this is one of his requests.

I think there was a boot 7″ a while back with the Silly Killers, Vains and The Fastbacks. No Threes was run by Kurt Bloch of The Fastbacks. Occasionally see Slatz of the Silly Killers around Seattle at shows - he looks like something outta the Heartbreakers/NYD….

I’ve got the boot you’re talking about…got one copy about 8 years ago w/ Guns ‘N Roses sleeve, but since traded it. The copy I have now, has Silly Killers sleeve on one side and Vains on the other…

There’s a great article on them at SugarbuzzMagazine.com (that I wrote) and to answer dylan’s question, The Accident - Kill The Bee Gees 7″ was also released on No Threes. As a matter of fact, it was the first record released by the label.

As someone who grew up in the early Seattle scene, this is brought back so many fantastic memories! One of the very first records of a local band I ever purchased in the day…

There was a guy from my High School in Gig Harbor who spent some time in the Silly Killers (I think his name was Tom…it’s been a while). Social Bitch is the track on this one for sure.
Harold Hollingsworth - I remember you but can’t remember from where? Did you used to skate back then? Did you know the Gleza’s?

I was the original drummer in Silly Killers. My name was at the time, Tim Gowell. I am the guy on the far left of the picture on the back of the 45. The guy who looks like he’s about to get beat up by Eddie, I loved being in that band. Duff was a great friend and eventually did play in the band towards the end. He hung out with the Fastbacks who shared a house with Gary of the SillyKillers. We all practiced in the basement. Duff was really into Rockabilly at the time and I remember seeing him often at the house, He was always so cool, I’m happy for all his success with GNR. We had a great time playing rowdy show all over the place, My favorite was when we played with DOA in Vancouver to a packed house, Eddie didn’t show up so we had to go on w/out him, Gary, the bass player at the time had to sing and play bass. Eddie showed up at the end with Duff (they were quite drunk!) Gary pounded Eddie for that one, He never missed show after that! I got my car towed the next day to a little wrecking yard in vancouvers China town! What a ride thet band was. I would love to get together and play some shows again!

Another favorite show for me was when we rented St. Josephs ( a good catholic school) on Capital Hill in Seattle, My mom showed up with a fur coat that everyone just about fell over themselves to gawk at her, right before the cops busted up the show for too much “reckless behavior” and potential for violence- Oh yeah, maybe the kegs had something to do with it, The next day we had to clean the place to get our 500.oo damage dep. back! A great show! They never knew what was coming to the place!
