160dB / The Fascists: Bio
160dB formed in 2001 [initially known as Villidge Id!ot and later 190dB] and are the result of the comings-together of guitarist Alex Katz, drummer 'Swiss' Kris Figgis and [sometimes, but not often] bassist Rik Sachs, three disaffected youths from the lower-middle-class suburbs of Bristol, UK. Never particularly organised enough to form a band in any conventional sense of the word and their purpose initially only self-fulfilling, their released material is a haphazard collection of musical obscenities and punk pastiche; on one hand roughly recorded, badly played and out of tune and on the other a prodigous embryo of talent culled, quite unfairly, before birth.
Notable for obscure concept albums, spontaneity and their almost typical British humour, they are a group that stopped before they ever really started, yet despite having no real place to practice, little money, cheap equipment and armed only with their foul mouths, dirty lyrics and some musical knowledge they resilliently attempted to stain history's pages with their insidious brand of bizarre rock n roll.
