Kevin McMahon (musician)

Kevin Michael McMahon (born Sept 21, 1953 in Cleveland, Ohio) is a musician, singer, and songwriter for the long-standing bands Lucky Pierre and Prick.

McMahon began recording with his pop group Lucky Pierre in 1974, releasing a number of vinyl singles though 1981. Lucky Pierre consisted of: John Guciardo- Lead Guitar, Brian Dempsey- Drums, Dennis DeVito- Bass and McMahon on Guitar & Lead Vocals. In late 1978, Guciardo & Dempsey left the band. Drummer Dave Zima and Bassist Tom Lash were added and DeVito switched to lead guitar. McMahon then went on hiatus until 1988, when Lucky Pierre recorded the "Communiqué" EP with Guciardo and Zima making guest appearances. The 1988 line-up of Lucky Pierre included Trent Reznor (then of the Exotic Birds, later of Nine Inch Nails), and was managed by Exotic Birds/NIN manager John Malm, Jr.. Lucky Pierre disbanded again after the recording of "Communiqué", but McMahon remained in contact with Reznor and Malm.

During the early 1990s, McMahon began his second musical project, the industrial rock band Prick. Prick was eventually signed to Reznor and Malm's Nothing Records label. The band's debut self-titled album was released in 1995, with Reznor producing four of the album's ten tracks. "Prick"'s lead single, "Animal," received high rotation on MuchMusic and MTV, and Prick opened the US leg of Nine Inch Nails and David Bowie's "Outside" tour. Nothing's parent label, Interscope Records, dropped Prick before McMahon could record a follow-up. [http://web.archive.org/web/20030423205924/http://www.prickmusic.com/press/friday-pd-dec2002.htm]

In the wake of this set-back, McMahon went on another years-long hiatus from music. Prick reemerged in 2002 with "The Wreckard", independently released by McMahon over the Internet, and featuring many songs once slated for the second, canceled Nothing Records album. Two years later, McMahon released Lucky Pierre's first full album, "ThinKing", again selling the album independently online.
