Kill Your Idols...The Conaboy Years (1996-1999)

Jim Conaboy played drums for hardcore punk band Kill Your Idols from 1996 to 1999. The band took its name from a song by Situated Chaos. Makes sense since KYI founding members Andy West and Gary Bennett were introduced to one another by Vinnie Segerra – frontman of Situated Chaos (Dave Deluca was also in SC for a while). Kill Your Idols toured and released a bunch of recordings, finally calling it quits in 2007...long after Jim left the band.

Here's a couple of Kill Your Idols recordings...the Conaboy years...
