Sirhan Sirhan

Accidentally formed in October of 2005, Sirhan Sirhan consists of three drunken midwest gentlemen (albeit extremely handsome drunken gentlemen!) that somehow found each other in San Diego.  The details surrounding their acquaintance are somewhat murky- Jason Blackmore (guitar/vocals), Mike Johnston (bass/backing vocals) and Alex Organ (drums) have recounted one story involving a bearded lady, a pirate named Captain Blackie, and 3 jugs of mescaline.  Whatever the real details are, the boys decided they had one goal to fulfill- to deliver a swift kick in the balls to Southern California!

Sirhan Sirhan has created a sound that's a perfect soundtrack to the apocalypse.  Imagine a time when the world's remaining lifespan is counted in days, not milleniums.  A day when buildings are falling all around you, looting has ensued up and down the streets, and the sun has turned blood red.  It ain't a pretty picture but it ain't that far from being reality.  Sirhan Sirhan has given us the view into the seedy underbelly of our cities and the horrific countdown to the end of the world. 

With that said, the band's music has connected with the people.  Having been nominated for Best New Artist at the San Diego Music Awards, been a featured artist on alt/rock station FM94/9, and been a long-time best seller at M-Theory Music stores, it hasn't taken long for music fans to embrace Sirhan Sirhan's sound. 

They're currently in the studio recording their debut full-length aptly titled "Blood", with Joby Ford of the Bronx (Island Records) producing, and Matt Caughthran (Bronx) also contributing some vocals.  Their debut full-length is due out in early fall '07 on CD by Anodyne Records and on KILLER limited edition vinyl by yours truly, Hi-Speed Soul.
