Hardly anything is known about this cassette except that it's rectangular. The Death Killers is a brother / sister duo. A six year old vocalist and lyricist, who also named the band, and her thirteen (?) year old brother providing the music. Thanks to Otis, WFMU, and Ubu for bringing us this year's 365 Days!

Hello there at 365 days project,

I have to offer some weird german songs and coverversions of international hits.
German sung versions of Night Fever, Video killed the radio star, Heart of stone, Good time Rock'n roll, Love is in the air, a german Teen Powerpop Band from the Seveneties, a weird german version of Another brick in the wall and more german madness.

Nice. Amazing that a thirteen year old and a six year old could create this! I have linked to it at my blog (my trackback doesn't currently function)

MEET THE DEATH KILLERS

they DO have a myspace page where i assume you can direct your own questions, congratulations, and perhaps compensate them for the value of the recordings.

this is not a hoax. death killers are more real than OLD SKULL. they DID grow up in east peoria, il. no joke i met the piper brothers in boy scouts. i can assure you, they discovered DIY at a very precocious age.

This reminds me of a tape a friend of mine found in Brooklyn (thrift shop?) that was two kids with limited guitar (or even musical) skills doing a song called "Hellsville", in fact there was a whole tape of them performing but my nimrod friend brought it to a friends gig to play over the PA during breaks and poor communication with the sound-man meant most of the tape was subsequently taped over.
