Kommissar's rich herstory is the stuff of legend. Founded in 1998 by Travis T and Sir Real, the band -- initially known as "Julius Seizure" -- has made a signifigant impact on the music scene. The degree of signifigance varies -- depending on who you talk to -- but a rough estimate would be "marginally signifigant."

The band's unique sound has been derived from their influential roots, such as: Kraftwerk, Niel Young, Peter Gabriel, and the writings of Willam F. Buckley. There are no genres this duo hasn't dabled in.

After being thrown out of the Kiwanis Club for playing their controversial smash hit, "I hate the Kiwanis Club" in 1999, the band was unoffically banned from the local music scene. After the release of the album "Mixed Signals" under the name "Julius Seizure," the band decided to change their name because a lesser group had chosen to use it in Tennessee. Rather than fight about it, Travis and Sir thought it would be best to change, because it had been tainted. Bad luck followed Kommissar into the year 2001, when they finally able to get booked again, this time to play at the World Trade Center on Sept. 12. Needless to say, it was a huge setback for the band -- which still has not recovered from the trauma of loosing that engagement.

Currently, the band is takign some time off, working in retail and polishing their musical chops. Look for a glimpse of the future in the section "future" at the top of the page.

To quote a fan of the band, Fynx from Angkst: "man, this band is the berst!"
