WATCH EGO KILL TALENT’S FIRST LIVE PERFORMANCE TOGETHER THIS YEAR
In 2020, Ego Kill Talent — Jonathan Dörr [vocals], Jean Dolabella [drums, guitar], Raphael Miranda [drums, bass], Niper Boaventura [guitar, bass], and Theo Van Der Loo [bass, guitar] — were confirmed for a Spring tour of South America with Metallica and Greta Van Fleet. The band was also set to perform the majority of the Danny Wimmer Presents Festivals in the US, to tour with System of a Down in Europe, and to perform at many key European Festivals. All told, EKT had booked 35 shows and 21 key festivals across three continents.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent global shutdown, the band, like so many others, had to revamp and revise its album release and tour plans.
Ego Kill Talent will perform their FIRST live performance together this year on Saturday, July 25 at 4pm ET/1pm ET.

Since their secret weapon is the LIVE SHOW, which often finds the members swapping instruments mid-song, Ego Kill Talent recorded a virtual tour that will include multiple shows to roll out supporting their first radio single, “The Call” from their upcoming album The Dance Between Extremes, which was recorded at the famed 606 Studio in Los Angeles. The Part 1, The Dance EP features the previously released songs “NOW!” and “Lifeporn.”
