The Band

Hot Cheeze Soup has been on the menu of the Denver masses for close to two years and the future has never looked so gouda. Consisting of five uniquely talented individuals, the unprecedented mix of Rock that is Cheeze is destined to melt to most grizzled of faces. With the release of their first full length album Goodbye Lost Fly, the term momentum has been completely redefined. As you listen to their heartfelt tracks, you will be overwhelmed with the outpour of passion and love. HCS believes that music will be an important catalyst in initiating positive and lasting change throughout the world. The Band is driven by being a part of that revolution.

Vocals

Will Kilduff

Vocals/Acoustic Guitar

kilduffcheeze_gmail.com

While in his second year of law school, Will realized that there is more to life than being an attorney. Having picked up a guitar a couple of years earlier, it wasnt long before he was putting pen to paper, and discovering that music is the path he is destined to follow. Will has the unique ability to transform universal experience into song, intertwining peoples everyday lives with his music in an individual and meaningful way. Ultimately finishing law school, as well as helping create the nonprofits Optimus Youth and Copters 4 a Cause, Wills passion for shaping a better world is ever apparent. With a set of lungs that can crank past 11, his voice is sure to win over any music lover.

Guitar

Chris Carter

Guitar/Vocals

chriscarter_hotcheezesoup.com

Since he received his first guitar at the age of twelve, Chris has been blowing minds with an innate ability to shred with the best. As an industrial designer, guitar teacher, and all around musician, Chris brings indescribable versatility to HCS. Through teaching lessons for over six years, Chris is not only honing his skills daily, but he is also passing his passion down to other people. His dedication shines as Chris has already been compared to some of the guitar legends of our time. From the first time his tasty licks hit your face, it doesnt take long to realize that you are hearing a contemporary guitar hero in the making.

Bass

Julie 'Suge' Schmidt

Electric Bass/Upright/Cello

schmidtcheeze_gmail.com

The addition of Julie to the band not only provided HCS with a steady bassist, but also something else that it so definitely lacked: CLASS. Affectionately nicknamed Suge (pronounced shoog) for her gangsta-ness, Julie encompasses a new type of versatility and dynamic that is sure to set Cheeze apart from any band you have seen. By the age of eight, Julie was already classically bowing, and had established a love for music that she shares by teaching and composing. As her passion grows, she continues to fuel her musical knowledge by taking college level music classes. Switching between the electric and upright bass, as well as the cello, Julie keeps the audience on its toes, always guessing what will happen next. With such a wide range of musical styles under her belt, Julie has created a whole new stank in the Cheeze. She lays her talent out nightly for all to see and can waddle with the best of them.

Percussion

Charlie 'The Meerkat' O'Neal

Percussion/Drums

charlieoneal_hotcheezesoup.com

Meerkats are generally reserved, spooked by loud noises and live underground, but Charlie is not your average Meerkat. While he may be perceived as the shy one of the group, put some bongos in front of this Kat and you will quickly see that banging them is what he was bred to do. With an insatiable hunger for the rhythm, he has served alongside numerous Colorado bands, but it was not until he found the Cheeze that his drive for music solidified. Charlie is musically consumed by a desire to push the envelope and develop his talent to the max. His passion for life (as well as music) is constantly contagious, not only to the other members of the band, but to anyone who crosses his path. Check this Kat out!

Drums

Dana Slabaugh

Drums/Percussion

danaslabaugh_hotcheezesoup.com

The most recent ingredient to the Soup and a distinguished percussion composer and teacher, Dana’s passion for music and percussion started in sixth grade band class. Having been consumed by a love for the beats, he dedicated five years to drum and bugle corp, topping it off with a B.S. in Music Education from the University of Kentucky. He has since coached numerous high school groups to state championships, composed percussion arrangements used by multiple marching bands across the country, and been a regular on the Denver Broncos game day drum line. His experience and knowledge shine through every time he picks up the sticks and Cheeze knew Dana would mix right in after only his first show with the band.
