Music / Kepone

Kepone1994-1999

Kepone was an American indie rock band based out of Richmond, Virginia. Formed in 1991, the band's name is derived from the Kepone crisis that occurred in the Richmond area in the 1970's. Originally formed by Michael Bishop of GWAR, the original lineup also included guitarist Tim Harriss and drummer Seth Harris. Kepone released a full-length debut, Ugly Dance, through Quarterstick Records in 1994. Harris left soon after to focus on environmental activism, and Ed Trask of the Holy Rollers replaced him. The band released two more albums, Skin and Kepone, before disbanding.
