Upcoming Shows
Killer Filler is the creation of keyboardist, guitarist, and songwriter Chris "Crispy" Bess -- an all-instrumental five-piece outfit to meld his twin penchants for 1960s Memphis soul and California surf music. Funk, twang, jazz, lounge and swing flavor Crispy's songwriting as well as the B-side nuggets that he handpicks to arrange and cover. The Ventures, The Shadows, Booker T. and the MGs, and The Champs and The Meters are all channeled by the band in live sets.
Crispy commands the Hammond B-3 and a six-string taboot while guitarists Bryon Settle and Pete Gamble join on dual stratocasters, Bryon's drop-jaw phrasing framed by Pete's mind-altering colors. Bassist Rusty Miller lays rhythm like a slab with the versatile and dynamic Mark Murphy on drums.

Killer Filler On Monster Creature Feature!
Killer Filler playing the new theme to Monster Creature Feature, Ormondium! This was shot in May, at The Cave during Ormon Grimsby’s inaugural Zombie Party.
This performance was fast, frenzied, and fun as all get-out. It was one of the first times we ever took this song out of the dungeon, so it’s a tad rough around the edges.
Special thanks to Ormon Grimsby for hosting such a swanky shindig, and putting his production mojo on the audio and video. He took our sow’s ear performance and made it into a silk purse (a creepy silk purse to be sure).
Killer Filler [HEARTS] MCFTV!
