I Killed The Prom Queen Announce New Drummer

by Ryan Minic | Mar 25, 2013

I Killed The Prom Queen have announced a new drummer, replacing original member JJ Peters who left the band to focus on Deez Nuts.

“JJ Peters is my oldest & closest friend in the entire world. We went to high school together, we’ve played together in bands prior to IKTPQ and I believe we will continue to work together in the future. Its sad to think that he will no longer be a part of IKTPQ but I know he’s going to continue to kill it with DN and anything else musical that he touches,” Jona Weinhofen commented.

Peters has been replaced by Shane O’Brien (ex-Confession, Buried In Verona).
