History
Death in Vegas formed in London in 1994, founded by DJ and graphic artist Richard Fearless together with producer Steve Hellier, who was later replaced by Tim Holmes. Their debut, Dead Elvis (1997), mixed dance and rock textures, but it was 1999's The Contino Sessions that broke them wider: a darker, more live-instrumented record featuring guest vocals from Iggy Pop, Bobby Gillespie, Jim Reid, and Dot Allison. The single "Aisha," with Iggy Pop, reached the UK Top Ten, and the album earned a Mercury Prize nomination. Fearless has remained the band's sole constant member through several stylistic shifts, moving into shoegaze, neo-psychedelia, and Krautrock-influenced territory across later albums, with guests including Liam Gallagher, Paul Weller, and Hope Sandoval. The track "Girls" gained wider exposure via the Lost in Translation soundtrack. Since 2004 Fearless has released the band's music on his own label, Drone. Death in Vegas remains active, with a seventh studio album, Death Mask, out in 2025.
