Fuck Yeah Kylesa

Kylesa are a sludge metal act from Savannah, Georgia. Formed in 2001 by Laura Pleasants and Phillip Cope, Kylesa have continued to be sizable players on the metal underground. This little corner of Tumblr is simply dedicated to the band's music and members. We are officially recognized by the band, and Laura has been nice enough to help out when her schedule isn't too hectic. If you like Kylesa, follow us!

I don’t know how to react with this bad new, my heart is broken right now. Thanks for all guys, all Kylesa fans will miss you forever. With love from Guatemala City, Skatethrasher

Rest in peace, Jonathan Athon

It is with a heavy heart that I have to inform blog readers that Jonathan Athon of acclaimed Savannah, GA sludge metal trio Black Tusk passed away today.

Last Friday night, Athon and his fiancée Emily were riding on Athon’s motorcycle when they were struck by a drunk driver that ran a stop sign. Emily is recovering and will be okay, but Athon was knocked into a coma and sent to the ICU. He left this world just a couple of short hours ago.

The Savannah music scene and the sludge/stoner/doom metal scene at large has been plunged into mourning. I only met Athon once, but he was known to me and countless others as a fun, positive person with a complete lust for life.

Please keep Emily and Athon’s family and friends in your thoughts and prayers. Blast some Black Tusk on high and celebrate the great music this man gave us. He will never be forgotten.

Rest in peace, Athon...

Long time, no post...

Hey everybody, Dora here. I haven't given up this blog, it's just that news/photos have been scarce these days. There's not really a lot to post, unfortunately. I'm trying to think of some ways to keep this blog active until something else happens with the band. If you have suggestions, let me know!

Shirt I designed for Kylesa. The printer didn’t do the best job as I specially asked for no under print and for only one pass! Still, how many batteries have us pedal lovers gone through over the years?!?!

This press shot will be our new banner image in the very near future. I'm aware the theme/site info needs to be updated, but I haven't had much time to do this. Thanks for being patient. - Dora

Great Brooklyn hangs with my good friend Laura Pleasants of Kylesa. I actually played in that band in 2008 for a spell. Good times!

Happy 36th birthday, Laura!

Here she is a few days ago with Mel from Royal Thunder. Good to see they're still having fun overseas! - Dora
