CKY (short for Camp Kill Yourself) is
comprised of members Deron Miller (vocals, guitar), Chad Ginsburg (guitar),
Vern Zaborowski (bass), and Jess Margera (drums). Originally hailing from
West Chester, PA, the roots of CKY stretch back to 1994, when friends Miller
and Margera formed the group Foreign Objects — issuing the EP The Undiscovered
Numbers & Colors on the Distant Recordings label a year later. By 1996,
the group had changed its name to Camp Kill Yourself (Miller thought up
the name, thinking it would make a perfect title for a horror movie), while
demos were recorded and the other members fell into place. The quartet caught
a break when Margera's pro skateboarding brother, Bam, was featured doing
wacky acts on the video Jump off a Building, which featured a song ("Genesis
12a") from CKY. Bam was offered to do other videos, and called upon
his brother's band to supply the soundtracks — resulting in the release
of the Camp Kill Yourself: Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, which included all the songs
from the videos. CKY appeared as part of the 1999 and 2000 Warped Tour,
as they issued a limited-edition EP, Disengage the Simulator. CKY's songs
have also been featured on the popular MTV show Jackass (which prominently
featured good ol' Bam), and in 2001, both volumes of Camp Kill Yourself
were reissued, just as the group was signed to Def Jam/Island. — Greg
