K. K. Barrett

K.K. Barrett is an American musician best known for his work as drummer with the pioneering 1970s punk and electronic band Screamers. The Los Angeles-based group blended post-punk energy with early synthesizer experimentation, establishing themselves as innovative figures in the emerging electronic music landscape of the late 1970s.

Barrett’s drumming contributed to Screamers' distinctive sound, which bridged punk’s raw intensity with the synthetic textures that would come to define new wave and electronic music. Though the band’s initial run was brief, their influence on the intersection of punk and electronic music remains notable in the history of alternative and electronic genres.
