History

2006–2008: Formation

KSM was formed in a joint project between The Walt Disney Company and former chart-topping girl band The Go-Go's.[4] The Go-Go's were looking for an all-girl pop band to mentor and held auditions in 2006. Four musicians (Padilla, Cecil, Cabebe, and Melon; all age 13-15 at the time) were selected and the group was originally developed as a Go-Go's cover band called the Po-Go's. Disney planned to replicate its success with Devo 2.0, a kids' version of the '80s new wave band Devo, with the possibility of the Po-Go's appearing in a movie or TV series.[5][6][7] Eventually the band's sound was changed from pop to rock, and with the addition of lead singer Shelby Cobra (real last name Spalione) in February 2008,[8] they changed their name to KSM. Around that time, the Go-Go's ended their involvement with the project.[6]

The band confirmed in April 2010 that bassist Sophia Melon departed to attend

Cambio.com as a correspondent and is currently a founder of nerd culture ministry nonprofit Love Thy Nerd.[citation needed] Spalione released the dance-pop single "Overrated Friday" under the name Lio in late 2011 and again under the name Shelby in early 2012; she has also performed with will.i.am.[23] Rhythm guitarist Katie Cecil had been a child actress before KSM, and earned small roles in the TV series Medium, Criminal Minds, and Help Me Help You.[24] Starting in 2015, Cecil is lead singer for the indie-pop band Wayfarers.[25]
