Legendary Columbus, Ohio band performs on the old Studio One soundstage Ronald Koal: vocals, Matt Newman: guitar, Pete Linzell: saxophone, Mike Valentine: bass, James Castoe: drums
I ran across their EP while doing some housecleaning. I had forgotten about Mr Brown's Descent. Saw them there a couple times. Best show was at the Agora with The Adults. God I feel old.
He passed in '91 alone in his place on campus, right after finding out he had a deal to record big....Sad.he was a stand up dude and a nice person i knew outside of the scene......
I think Rosie Mendelson has the entire recording. Also Ed Shuttleworth I guess. I remember talking to Ronald after this shoot on the day of it and he was not very happy with it. I"m soooo glad it exists. Ronald was better in front of an engaged crowd, but this is really amazing . I'm happy to have been a Trillionaire.
Kid Koal, Ronald Koal AND the Trillionaires were a great band here in Columbus. They put on some of best shows at Stache & Little Brothers, Mr. Brown's and the Agora. These videos were recorded for Community Access TV at the Main Public Library. Any one out there have the whole set of videos--about an hour's worth?

I used to live on 19th, near Ruby Tuesday's. Saw some epic Ronald Koal and the Trillionaires shows there.

Sorry to ask, but when and how did he die? I haven't seen him in years.
