KSM Perform, Talk About Opening For Demi Lovato's Summer Tour

Disney’s all-girl band KSM stopped by the studio to talk about performing as the opening act in the Demi Lovato 2009 Summer Tour.

KSM is an all-female rock band from Los Angeles, California formed in 2006, consisting of Shelby Cobra (lead vocals), Katie Cecil (guitar/vocals), Sophia Melon (bass guitar), Shea Padilla (lead guitar) and Kate Cabebe (drums). They came up with the group name KSM by combining their first-name initials (all K’s and S’s) and the word "music."

The band formed in 2006 as an originally pop group. Their big break came when The Go-Go's taking an interest in wanting to mentor a “new all-girl teen rock band.” The band started off with four members and when they soon decided to move to a rock genre, fifth member Shelby Cobra joined the band.

KSM's first Radio Disney single, "Distracted" was written and produced by hit makers Matthew Gerrard and Robbie Nevil -- the team responsible for chart-topping songs from High School Musical, Hannah Montana, Jesse McCartney and Hilary Duff.

You can catch KSM on tour now. The Demi Lovato Summer Tour 2009 is scheduled to run 22 dates in 40 cities in North America. For more information, visit www.ksmofficial.com.
