SubscribePromoter Jim Kilroy talks about Axium and David Cook
Hearne from Kansas City has published the thoughts of promoter Jim Kilroy who once booked David Cook's band Axium. He has this to say: I booked him five or six times. His band, Axium, played in Club Wars at least three times, then I booked them for a couple gigs like my Rock & Metal Fest. The thing is, they never really pulled a huge crowd, but everybody who was in the little scene liked them.
I think he’s definitely going to be the most famous rocker out of Kansas City, at least during my era. But I mean, who else is there? The Rainmakers, Shooting Star, Puddle of Mudd?
The band played in Club Wars several times but never advanced past the first round. But they always had some babes showing up — they were kind of pretty boys.
He may not be this cutting-edge guy, but he’s a rocker. I don’t think he’s like a Bono or a Bruce Springsteen — he’s more like an entertainer — kind of like in the Bon Jovi league of rockers. He could be the new standard of somebody who became famous this way — he didn’t necessarily go out and pay his dues.
