Death in Vegas - Metro City Perth

Electronica, psychedelic band DEATH IN VEGAS are back on the scene and ready to shake audiences again with their signature sound at the upcoming ‘Harvest’ music and arts festivals. West Coast fans take note: DEATH IN VEGAS will play their only sideshow concert this year in PERTH.

With all the shadowy enigma of Neu! or Throbbing Gristle, one of the most exciting and unique artists to emerge from the ’90s UK dance scene, is making a stealthy return. Richard Fearless, aka DEATH IN VEGAS, cut some of that era’s most unusual records, fusing electro, dub, rock, psychedelia, soul and solid-gone experimentation to create a sound that was spacious and other-worldly, while also segueing with the pop mainstream.

After seven turbulent years, which have seen him up sticks for New York, form a raw-power rock & roll band (called Black Acid) , and eventually move back to London again, Fearless is back as DEATH IN VEGAS, releasing his first record under that alias since 2004’s ‘Satan’s Circus’.

Called ‘Trans Love Energies’, the album marks a return to his roots in minimal techno, deploying the rudimentary gear behind all the classics of the original Detroit/Chicago era to try and spirit up fresh atmospheres. It’s the kind of eerie, nocturnal and often compulsively toxic record, which only Fearless could make, yet which feels thrillingly of-the-moment. His time is now, once again.
‘Trans Love Energies’, as its title suggests, is a real rollercoaster of emotion: from the frosty synth-pop seduction of ‘Medication’ through to ‘Your Loft My Acid’’s slow-building hands-in-the-air euphoria, it’s a real trip – gourmet brain-food for the post-millennial tech-fiend.
