Dazzling Killmen were one of the most accomplished 1990s math rock bands, combining a punk-inspired noisy ruckus with jazzy Sun Ra-type intelligence and complex arrangements. The group was composed of midwestern jazz students -- drummer Blake Fleming, guitarist Tim Garrigan, bassist Darin Gray -- and vocalist Nick Sakes. The St. Louis-based group caught the attention of Skin Graft Records, released two full-length albums, as well as several 7" singles before breaking up.

In 2025, Blake Fleming and Nick Sakes announced that they had relaunched Dazzling Killmen with a new line up that included bassist Evan Jagels and guitarist Ben Greenberg. That same year, Skin Graft reissued the band's long-lost debut LP, "Dig Out The Switch". Read more on Last.fm.
