KillNancy Announces New Lead Vocalist

Konvict Recording Artist Takes Front Man Reigns

Jason Miller

KillNancy is excited to announce that national recording artist Jason Miller (Konvict Musik Label) has joined the band as its lead vocalist, ending weeks of speculation regarding the band’s future. Guitarist Michael Archbold states, “This announcement couldn’t have come at a better time for all of us musically or professionally.”

Following the unexpected departure of former front man Jef Conn, the band turned immediately inward to assess their options. “Jason was the first name that popped in my head. (KillNancy Drummer) John (Tingley) and I know Jason from back in the club days. We gave him a call and ended up talking for two hours straight,” said guitarist Greg Titzer. “It turns out that Jason had just arrived back in town fresh off tour with the Baja Men. He said he had recently been considering a change from the solo R&B scene for something more engaging and energetic. Everything started falling in place from there,” added Titzer.

Jason Miller is an R&B artist signed to Akon’s Konvict Muzik and responsible for such hits as “Sucker 4 Love” featuring Akon, “S.E.X.” featuring Snoop Dogg, and “Supermodel.” He has toured with such acts as Baja Men, Keith Sweat, Trina, Akon, Snoop Dogg, and LMFAO.  Miller states, “I want to thank everyone who has supported my solo career. It was a dream come true having signed to Akon’s Konvict Musik Label to do ‘Sucker 4 Love.’ I will always be with Konvict! But I hope you will check out and support KillNancy as we start this rise through Indiana. It’s going to be big!” Adds Miller, “The seed for this change was planted months ago when I did a big band performance at the Grand Wayne Center Gala here in Fort Wayne hosted by (local media personality) Terra Brantley. I loved the band vibe. I loved the interaction among the musicians. I had forgotten how much I loved performing as a unit working in harmony together with a group of guys.”

KillNancy, a local “super group” of sorts, is the brainchild of guitarists Michael Archbold and Greg Titzer and drummer John Tingley. A grouping of musicians from some of the most storied and popular music groups in Northeast Indiana, KillNancy is comprised of current and former members of bands including Rosemary Gates, the Migraines, Scream Machine, FYI, and Jacob’s Well. Drummer John Tingley states, “Mike and I had been talking about a project like this for a while where a group of seasoned muscians get together to see what happens. This is a group of guys that have combined decades of recording and touring experience.” Archbold adds, “Initially, we intended to get together and just play hard rock covers on the side. As we grew and began to play out, we decided to go in more of a ‘variety rock’ direction; it’s just the way things flowed and we went with it. With that new focus, our fan base has grown by leaps and bounds. The band now boasts the most ecclectic and energetic live show in the region.”

Titzer states, “Things have been going so well over the last year that we have been looking more seriously at original music. We currently have 15+ originals laid down. With the addition of Jason to the lineup, we are going to be going full on in that direction in the coming months.” Miller adds, “The band has dates booked through the rest of 2011. We will be taking our summer tour dates to play out and gel as a unit. Once fall hits, we will be taking to the recording studio to lay these tracks down and REALLY show this scene what we have to offer.” Bassist Scott Jackson adds, “We’re excited to see what this blend of musical styles will produce… the pop rock grooves of KillNancy married to the smooth R&B sounds of Jason Miller. It is going to be a thing of beauty.”

The band’s first performance with Jason will be Saturday, May 28, at Columbia Street West in Fort Wayne. The band will then take to the road stopping at Lake Wawasee and Indianapolis, IN, before making its way back to the Fort Wayne area in July.
