History Formed in 2002 originally with drummer Sammy Lee (now in Septembre). A fruitless search for a guitarist resulted in bassist Bones plugging his guitar into a bass amp, allowing Kinghorn to take over bass parts on synths. Somehow it worked and has become a trademark. So far the band has both delighted and outraged audiences with they’re onstage antics, from nervous promoters sending security up front to check that Kirst was wearing underwear, to over enthusiastic stage diving and close encounters with bouncers. Their gigging history is already colourful. Risqué costumes and stage trashing has ultimately resulted in the group being banned from some venues. The immediate backlash from their local music scene, inspiring them to write their current EP ‘Everything That You Despise’

"At first you think, unfortunately, this isn't ultra slow doom core level one monsters, Khanate but then on further listening It turns out to be something altogether more delightful. Coming straight outta Aldershot, they have wrenched together the disparate strands of Garbage's straight up alterno/pop, Goldfrapp's whispering sensuousness and the industro grind of Ministry into one devilishly nice treat. Vocals courtesy of melancholy looking siren, Kirst, whisper seductively and holler hellishly over heavy but dance floor friendly grooves. All in all, a top notch demo" [8/10] Jon Doran - Metal Hammer
