Biography
For over 25 years Killer Bee’s founding members, Anders “LA” Rönnblom and Brian “Bee” Frank, have been writing their signature classic hardrock. Through the 90’s Killer Bee released 3 full length CD’s supporting them with extensive touring throughout Europe, England & Russia. Playing on some of the largest festival stages with the best of the best. This legacy has made Killer Bee a force to be reckoned with in 2016. But it has not come without it’s headaches!
Based in Sweden, Killer Bee or namely the Rönnblom / Frank team have definitely faced their fair share of obstacles. Numerous member changes, the typical industry rip-offs, and bad management have plaqued Killer Bee since the start. Only due to their dedication and drive have Killer Bee risen to a stage in their careers where it seems that no obstacle or barrier is too large to overcome. Rönnblom / Frank have kept the buzz of the Bee alive and their sting is as infectious today as it ever was.
The current line-up includes two new members joining Rönnblom / Frank and long- time drummer Morgan Evans as of spring 2015. They are 26 year old guitarist André Hägglund from Sweden and guitar legend Paul “Tonka” Chapman (UFO, Lone Star, Waysted , Gator Country)
