The Killin’ Time Band is a party band rooted in the love of music. 

*"We never show up half–assed. If there are two people or 2000 people, we come to empty your fridge and shake your ass."

“We never lose site of the fact that we are lucky. We get paid to play music which is what we would all be doing regardless for free in our basements. So you always have to keep the big picture in sight and forget about the pettiness. No matter what went on that day when we get on stage and the engine starts clicking; these are my best friends in the world" Brad Hails, member of KTB, says it best and is quickly echoed by another KTB member Jaret Koop "We do what we love and we love what we do."

But while they love to party, KTB has also been committed to insuring that their revelry can also have a positive effect on the community. Whether it’s bed races to raise money for their local hospital, growing their moustaches for Movember benefiting Prostate Cancer Canada (theta-omega-mo.com) or even lending their services to the Make A Wish Foundation – the Killin’ Time Band’s parties are often charitable fundraisers. With the official release of "Three Day Weekend", KTB's catchy songs have been turning heads with radio play on all the local radio stations and over 100,000 views of their youtube channel

"This band has never been busier and shows no signs of slowing down, and again whether it be helping out a worthwhile cause or heading out to the cottage, we know our abilities and put them to good use every chance we get."

“We all have the sickness,” chuckles Hails. “Playing music is the centre of our universe and the vibe that is created when the four or more of us get together and jam is addictive. People really pick up on the honesty of Killin’ Time."

“I am not a rich man so instead of donating money I donate my time as often as I can,”confides Hails. “We aren’t looking to be the next big thing we are just doing the only thing we know how to do."

They may not be looking to be the next big thing but with their infectious and entertaining live shows, a work ethic second to none and a charitable soul, The Killin' Time Band is a great band that loves what they do and it shows.
