Kepone is an American indie rock band from Richmond, Virginia, formed in 1991 (see 1991 in music). The name is derived from a banned pesticide. Formed as a sideproject of Michael Bishop (most famously of Richmond-area legends Gwar), Tim Harris (Burma Jam) and Seth Harris (Honor Role), Kepone released their first recordings in 1993 on Quarterstick Records, based out of Chicago. Their full length debut was 1994's Ugly Dance. Harris left soon after to focus on environmental activism, and Ed Trask of the Holy Rollers replaced him. The band's latest album is Kepone (1997).
