We'd like to thank everyone who helped in our tour of Germany. Most importantly, all the fans who showed up and rocked with us. We had a great time and are looking forward to seeing you again next year. The CD is finally finished and up for sale. To order click HERE . If you'd like to listen to some of the tracks, click HERE and check out our new fancy-schmancy media player.

Our US tour is in the works and we'll post shows and they start coming in. We're looking forward to seeing you.

July 20th, 2007

The tour dates are almost all set and our new album "Revenge of the Flies" is set to be released on September 13th 2007. You can listen to the title track on our myspace page or on the GraveWax radio page. During the tour we are going to keep an online journal of how our shows have been going. We'll post it on our MySpace blog. We hope to see you soon!

June 4th, 2007

We're planning our second tour of Europe for our new CD "Revenge of the Flies". You can listen to the title track on our Myspace website. We're looking forward to meeting old friends and making new ones on our next tour.

If you have time, stop by and check out our new pictures. More news coming soon regarding the tour and the release dates. Stay tuned!

August 13th, 2006

Hi folks, we'd like to introduce a new member of the band: Igor Gregorski on rhythm guitar. New pictures will be coming soon. He was nice enough to escape from prison and help us with our last tour in Germany - all on very short notice. He will also be playing on a few tracks of our new album "Revenge of the Flies". Stay tuned!

July 13th, 2006

Hey folks! We're almost finished recording our new full length album, "Revenge of the Flies" which should be pressed and available this coming winter. For a more up-to-date discussion on the progress of things, check out the forum. We've got a bit of a surprise for you on this CD, that's why there's going to be a bit of a wait before we release it to the public. We'll also be posting some of the new songs from the new CD on this website and on our MySpace site soon. Stay tuned!

We'd like to also thank all of our fans who saw us play on our last tour. You were great and we'll be back soon! Dankeschön!

June 6th, 2006

Our tour of Germany was a lot of fun. We'll be posting pictures soon, so make sure to come on back! Ivan was not able to do the tour with us, instead, one of our prison buddies Igor Gregorski played rhythm guitar for us.

In other news, we have been secretly recording a new CD, so don't tell anyone. The recording is nearly finished and sounds creepy enough to raise the dead. Expect it sometime in the Fall of 2007! The album title will be... (gasp, gasp, falls off chair) *censored by the KGB*.

Hey folks! We got a new shirt that's up for sale! Click here to check it out. We're also getting ready for our tour of Germany. Click here to view the tour schedule. Deutschland here we come!

January 15th, 2006

Happy New Year! We got a lot of new shows lined up to break in the new year. We are also planning a tour of Germany in May. When we have the definate dates we'll post them on the site. Some of you might have noticed that our biography is a little out-dated. The new one reads like a sexy novel of terror and adventure. It isn't posted it yet, but we thought you should know just how good it is.

Look out Colorado! we'll be playing a show in Durango on Feb. 25th! We are also planning a small west coast tour in the near future. If you want us to play your town, let us know. We always enjoy a little fresh meat to spice up the stew.

New T-shirts and stickers will be available soon! Catch you later, suckers!

The Route 66 Killers are on the new compilation by GraveWax Records - Yells From the Crypt! For more info visit the official Yells From the Crypt website where you can listen to mp3s from all 21 bands on the comp.

October 4th, 2005

Rumors have been flying around that the Route 66 Killers are going to play Las Vegas on the 29th. Well, they are all true, ever single damn word of 'em. From what we hear it's gonna be in the Thunderbird Lounge at the:

Aruba Hotel
1215 S. Las Vegas Blvd.,
Las Vegas, NV 89101

What's it gonna cost? - $5.00, so quit whining you big baby.
Who else is playing, huh? - Well, there's gonna be a large line up - The Volcanics, Thee Swank Bastards, The Boweltones, and The Devell's

August 23rd, 2005

Ok, so we've updated our press section - make sure to go and check it out. Then you won't have to hear us harping about how great Murder On Beaver Street is - We've left that up to other people. We don't want to jinx anything, but we haven't had one negative review yet *fingers crossed / voodoo good luck dance*. The reviews are still coming in, so be a pal, stop by our humble space on the web and read the kind words that were written about us.

July 18th, 2005

Hey there folks! We're back to playing and will be at the Rhythm Room in Phoenix September 15th. As far as we know we'll be playing with the Flame Trick Subs. Check out Hillgrass Bluebilly Entertainment for more info.

We've also changed our line up. The Animal and Boris have left the gang and gone on to a better place - RIP. We'd like to introduce the beautiful and talented pyro Katarina Molotova on bass and the evil and twisted Sasha on the skins. There are also rumors of a tour coming up some time in December or January. But since these are rumors, we'll leave them at that. If you are on our mailing list you'll be one of the fist to know, so if you haven't signed up yet - DO IT!

January 13th, 2005

Happy New Year! We had quite a bit happen since last year. We were planning a tour of Europe that didn't work out. But on the positive side we recorded a song for a Ramones Tribute Compilation by Shock Rock Records out of Germany. The song is 7-11. I know, we're an instrumental band, therefore we got Lona Lovejoy from the band Lona and the Love Objects to sing for us. We'll post more news when we know about release dates... etc.

July 6th, 2004

GraveWax Records has just added a new forum. Click here to check it out and discuss all the happenings at GraveWax.

June 18th, 2004

We've added two new mp3s to the website: Mansfield and The Choir. Mansfield is one of our oldest songs written and recorded in 1999. The Choir is a surf arrangement of Tchaikovsky's "Xop" Op. 39 No. 23. and also provides a glimpse of some of the new material being recorded by the Route 66 Killers. Enjoy!

April 4th, 2004

Hello once again. Try our new game Ghoul Shoot Up added today. If you have a dial up internet connection, it may take a minute to load. Here's a snap shot of the game:

There will be more levels added within the next few weeks so please come by and check it out. The track playing on this level is "Shallow Grave". Have fun!

 

February 23rd, 2004

The Route 66 Killers' debut album Murder on Beaver Street is pressed and ready for sale. Click here for more info. Cheers!

June 28th, 2003

The CD is finally recorded. We are still going through the process of having them pressed. Join the mailing list and we'll contact you as soon as they're finished. As for the band, we are all doing well. The Animal dissappeared into the jungles of the Amazon (Brazil), Ivan is lurking around Flagstaff, Boris has gotten himself into the porn industry and I am off on "official" business in Germany. This is all true - except the whole porn industry thing... nevermind. If you are in Jena or Weimar, feel free to e-mail me, since I'll be there for most of the year. Other than that, we hope you enjoy the CD. See you all soon.

 

April 3rd, 2003

That's right folks, we'll be playing in the quad on the NAU campus. So those of you who are too young to be hitting up the bars can come see us. Girls are encouraged to throw their panties and bras. Don't worry we're used to it. Once again, we had a awesome show with Undertoe on the 28th. I'd like to thank Dan, Steve and Joe for being the cool guys that they are. If you haven't seen them yet, you suck. The only way to redeem yourself is to come to the next show they play or buy one of their CDs or shirts. Later.

March 22nd, 2003

There should be an upcoming show in Phoenix soon. Make sure to check it out. As soon as I have the details, I'll post them. I'd like to thank Rob and John for playing with us on the 14th gig. Just as a word for those who aren't very zombie savvy, if you see them in the near future, make sure to shoot them in the head. Any torso shots won't be able to stop them. We have many more new songs, with song titles such as "Gilligan Goes to Hell" and "Desert Highway". They're quite spooky. In fact for our song "Desert Highway" I wrote some lyrics. With the “Gilligan Goes to Hell” song, just imagine Gilligan stuck on the desert isle in Lucio Fulci’s masterpiece Zombie. SKIPPEERRRRRRR!!! So anyway, have fun and make sure to be safe while practicing voodoo.

March 9th, 2003

Boris won't be playing for our show on the 14th. To take his place (for that show only), we'll have guest bassists John and Rob. If you don't plan on going, you should come anyway to see Undertoe, who we'll be opening up for. Once again at Joe's Place we'll be having one crazy instrumental surf night. Check it out. Poka.

-Sergei-

 

March 2nd, 2003

I've added some new pictures. It's about time... And NO! I'm not bald. The older pictures are all dark, and I have a high forehead :)

February 26nd, 2003

Getting the CD done has been a total headache. Due to a major recording disaster, we're going to get our CD recorded in Phoenix. For those of you who have been waiting, all I can say is too bad :) We will have it done very soon though. Our show with Undertoe was very fun (if you missed it, you're definately going to hell). We'll be playing a show on March 28th at the Monte V. Don't forget to check out the new Zombie Chick of the Month. Miss March - what a beatuy. Also, if you e-mailed me recently and I haven't responded, I'll still write you, I've been extremely busy as of late. If it takes more than a month, I probably don't want to talk to you.

-Sergei-

 

February 2nd, 2003

I just added a live track from our show in Scottsdale -" Masque of the Red Death" . It's also listed on the Music page. I should have more up soon. See you at the shows.-Sergei-

 

January 30th, 2003

Still working on the Summer tour. Due to the lateness of the CD, looks like we're probably only going to play a few cities. Make sure to check out the new Zombie Chick of the Month page. And yes, we're finally going to play an all ages show at Club 111 (it's about time!) - Saturday February 22. I'm not sure what other band we'll be playing with, but I'm sure it will be fun. Sadly, The Animal (Nate) will be leaving the band in June. We're definately going to miss him. We'd like to welcome Eddie into the band.

-Sergei-

 

January 13th, 2003

I just got back from a trip to the Holy Land (Graceland) in Memphis. While I was there I got to go to Sun Studios. Here are a couple pictures of the trip. There will be an upcoming show on the 18th at the Monte Vista with the Tex Watson Swingers Convention. Should be a fun one... See ya there!
-Sergei-

 

December 24, 2002

Thanks to those who showed up at our last show in Scottsdale. A correction - the bands we played with were "Two Dimes" and "Damaged goods". I'd like to thank Chase for getting us the gig. I should have some pictures from the last show pretty soon. Sorry, but I still haven't put a new album cover up to vote for. It should be on-line before too long. I'm working on a forum. Until then...
-Sergei-

 

December 17, 2002

Make sure to check us out at Chasers in Scottsdale - December 21st. We'll be playing with Yar's Revenge, and maybe another band. I'm still not sure. In any case, hopefully this new page will keep everyone updated on anything new that the R66Killers are doing. Since the semester is over, the R66Killers will be parting for a month, but they should be back in full swing by mid January. We have some exciting shows with The Quakes in late January, and Undertoe and the Tiki Tones the following month - make sure to check out their websites for Mp3s and such. As for this website, I recently put up an old song Surfin' With Satan available for download. This song will not be on the album; I recorded it with awesome songwriter Jeremy May ;) a year or so back. In any case, I hope you enjoy it. When the album is completely done there should be more songs on the listen page. The album "Murder on Beaver Street" should be done sometime in January instead of December. I'm thinking about showing some different album covers on the website, and having you vote for which one you like the best. Your input is appreciated. Also any comments or ideas are welcome. See you at the shows - and keep it dead and dyin'
