MUSIC TO DIE FOR

If there’s one thing that Kim Nekroman hates, it’s a band that goes on stage and doesn’t entertain. “I hate when they just stand there and play their instruments,” he says. “I wish I’d just stayed home and listened to the CD.”No one will accuse Nekromantix of that faux pas. With a stand-up bass shaped like a coffin, a distinctive pounding beat and lyrics you might not want mom to hear, the Denmark-bred band specializes in fun with an edge.The band’s new offering, Life Is a Grave & I Dig It (Hellcat Records) show show well the combination works. Set aside the lyrics about toe tags, hell and hearses for a minute: The songs Nekroman writes are about everything from romance to watching football. “This isn’t about me walking through the graveyard in the pale moonlight,” he says. “This is about life. It can be alot of fun. Let’s enjoy it.” www.nekromantix.com
