This eclectic British rock-tronica outfit began life in 1994 as Dead Elvis--a name they were asked to change by the late Presley's people--around the nucleus of DJ Richard Fearless and producer Steve Hellier (replaced by Tim Holmes after the first album), and a cast of sidemen and stellar guest vocalists. Their debut album impressed clubgoers who liked a bit of punk moxie and lysergic fantasia served up with their techno and dub, and along with like-minded acts such as the Chemical Brothers, were instrumental in bridging the worlds of rock and club music. Although the band has not been prolific--only four full-length releases in over a decade--they have kept busy contributing to popular soundtracks (LOST IN TRANSLATION), commercials, and compilations, as well as DJ-ing and producing other acts.
