Guess who’s back!? Back again! The Kamikaze Snowmen are back! Tell your friends!
The Kamikaze Snowmen originally began in 1993 as a fun improvisational pastime between three junior high friends. The group evolved in the late 1990s-early 2000s into an indie comedy band, recording albums and playing live shows at coffee houses and college campus events.
In the 2010s the Snowmen found a kinship with comedians and a home at conventions. Over the years, they’ve grown their repertoire to include comedy showcases, hosting opening/closing ceremonies and cosplay contests, moderating panels with other guests, game shows, trivia, music video shoots, and more.
The group now consists of primary members Paul Tebben and Josh Trumbo, with alum Terry Bown II still appearing on album tracks when able. Taking cues from classic vaudeville and adapting various pop-culture landmarks into their music, The Kamikaze Snowmen provide inclusive and interactive content perfect for any convention setting!
The Kamikaze Snowmen have a special place in CoreCon’s heart and we’re always excited to have them back!
