Biography
Formed from the ashes of Cradle of Thorns, the members of
Videodrone had been playing together since 1988. After the group parted
ways with Chris O'Brain, the band was renamed (taken from the cult
classic film Videodrome). A twelve track CD was released in 1999 with
notable appearances from Korn's Jonathan Davis on "Ty Jonathan Down"
and Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst & DJ Lethal on "Human Piñata".
Also from Korn, Head played guitar on "Power Tools For Girls"
and Fieldy did production on the album. Vocalist Ty Elam was in the
band Sexart along with Jonathan Davis and Ryan Shuck, who would go on
to play for Orgy, another one-time Elementree Records band. Drummer
Kris Kohls went on to play for Adema and vocalist Ty Elam would go on
to play in local Bakersfield bands Karmahitlist, Three Chord Whore and
Arrival of Fawn after Videodrone's demise in 2000.
