Bio
.. ..KGC.. (Konietzko, Garcia, Cifarelli) is the brain child of three of the most trail-blazing underground artists around: Dean Garcia the musical genius behind ..CURVE.., known for his monolith guitars and layered production style, that envelopes you with its tsunami of instrumentation, Sascha Konietzko of ..KMFDM.., whose innovative and unorthodox approach toward production have garnered him with international acclaim as one of the foremost pioneers of industrial/ultra heavy beat and Lucia Cifarelli of ..KMFDM.. and ..DRILL.., whose vocal and lyrical talents go from provocative to menacing in the beat of a rivet-head lovelorn heart. The three met by chance through a mutual fan who played conduit. However unlikely it sounds, that was the beginning of a year-long, Trans- Atlantic session swap that spawned their debut album. The three have created a haunting, twisted landscape of sound that is both hypnotic, aggressive and surreal. A maelstrom of emotions laced with the underbelly of the anti-hero. With their mutual affinity of all things odd, the album marries their individual influences and births a truly unique love child that draws you in with cinematic splendor, where the ever present momentum of guitars and electronics push harder and deeper, luring the listener further and further into their strange world of darkness.. ........ .. Please address direct questions or messages to Sascha, Dean or Lucia if you have a specific question or message. .... - KGC .. .. .. ..Order Dirty Bomb Here........ ..............

........Sascha Konietzko.... ..Born in Hamburg, West Germany is the founder of the band KMFDM. Spawned in 1984, KMFDM pioneered the crossover between techno/dance and heavy metal with their signature industrial sound. Having relocated to Chicago in the early 90's, KMFDM was the pride of Wax Trax! Records when the label was at its peak. Rapidly evolving year by year through intense experimentation and touring, the band has redefined themselves with each new release. Over 22 years of non-stop effort toward KMFDM has somehow still afforded him the time to be involved in several other projects (MDFMK, Excessive Force, Schwein), as well as to make a name for himself as producer, remixer and publisher..... ........Dean Garcia...... .. .. Born in Kentish Town England. He is internationally recognized as one of the founding members of Curve and the musical mastermind responsible for the bands wall of sound production style. Dean wrote and Co Produced recorded/engineered all of the music for Curve's 7 albums. In addition to Curve, Dean was also a member of The Eurythmics from 81-83, played bass on Touch and Be Yourself Tonight, worked with Mick Jagger, Ian Dury, Sinead O' Connor and has been part of many extensive world tours. Dean has also done Production mixes for The Cure, Saffron Sprackling, Paul Van Dyke, Indochine, Mekano Set and Jeff Beck... .. ....Lucia Cifarelli...... .. .. Born in New York, she was the co-founding member and lead vocalist and writer of Drill, the dark alternative rock band that came to life in the late nineties. Signed to A&M Records, Drill garnered critical acclaim with their song "What You Are" which was featured on the "Empire Records" movie soundtrack. Drill toured extensively opening and headlining across the globe along side Marilyn Manson, Gang Of Four, MC5, Stabbing Westward, God Lives Underwater, 7 Mary 3, Sister Machine Gun and numerous others. After Drill disbanded, Lucia joined MDFMK. The side project of KMFDM mastermind Sascha Konietzko. Along with Sascha and Tim Skold, MDFMK toured the US and Japan and was acclaimed for their futuristic sound and anime style. Most notably their custom made 600 pound 9 ft. tall terminator style guitar playing robot. When Sascha decided to reform KMFDM he invited Lucia on board to collaborate and she hasn't looked back since. In Between recording and touring with KMFDM, Lucia also recorded her debut solo album "From The Land Of Volcanos" with Ian Stanley (Tears For Fears) producing. .. .. .. ....
