Kamilla

A band’s success is often measured by both memorable songwriting and artistic credibility – and Kamilla has a firm stranglehold on both. During the summer of 2001, five musicians in Grand Rapids, Michigan coalesced into a single creative unit, crafting an intelligent and aggressive sound that courts the ears of mainstream listeners while keeping one foot firmly in the underground. Thanks to a dynamic combination of beefy, metallic grooves and a solid melodic foundation, Kamilla quickly racked up a list of impressive achievements, including:

- Beating out 150 entries and 16 semi-finalists to take first place at WKLQ-FM’s battle of the bands, the Heavyweight Championship of West Michigan, in February, 2002 at local music club The Intersection.
- Conquering another prestigious local competition, Aris Hampers’ Hometown Rock Search, in December, 2002, performing in front of more than 1,000 people at The Orbit Room.
- Being chosen by Anheuser Busch and EMI in 2003 as the best band in West Michigan, and earning sponsorship via Budweiser’s “True Music Live” ad campaign. The partnership led to Kamilla’s garnering a coveted opening slot for Korn in December, 2003.

After a brief hiatus in Late ’04 / Early ’05, Kamilla is set to take the world by storm with a new 3 song CD entitled “So Much for Fair Weather”, a release that will no doubt showcase the bands versatility, maturity, and dynamic songwriting.

Such accomplishments prove that Kamilla’s ambition shows no boundaries – the sky is the limit. Boasting its professional demeanor, a passionate and kinetic live show and an eye towards the future of music, Kamilla will continue to stand out as one of West Michigan’s premiere rock bands.
