Frank Nardiello's first band in the late 70s was
Special Affect, a Chicago area punk/glam/new wave group that also featured one
Al Jourgensen (later of
Ministry, etc.). He then moved to England and replaced
Angela Jaeger in
Drowning Craze, with Simon Raymonde.
After The Drowning Craze split, Frank returned to Chicago and met Marston Daley in Chicago in 1987. They dubbed themselves Groovie Mann and Buzz McCoy and over the years have enlisted a revolving cast of Chicago scenesters called
the Bomb Gang Girlz to invent and reinvent their band called My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult. TKK started out as a lowbrow movie concept, but became a full-fledged band - eventually one of the premier industrial dance bands.
