Death in Vegas is a psychedelic rock and electronic rock band from the United Kingdom, comprising two permanent members: Richard Fearless and Tim Holmes. Influenced by a wide range of musical genres including psychedelic rock, electronica, krautrock, dub and industrial, the band's sound is constantly changing, moving between live rock sounds, electronica and minimal techno.
The band was formed in 1994 by Fearless and Steve Hellier and signed to Concrete Records under the name of Dead Elvis. Objections from the Elvis Presley estate forced them to change their name, and Dead Elvis became the title of their first album instead. Recently, Richard Fearless completed Fabric Live 23 a mix CD in the FABRICLIVE series. Less recently, volume n°3 of "Live at the social" (on Heavenly records) also features him playing as a DJ.
