Death In Vegas

This event will take place in EartH Theatre.

Richard Fearless began as resident DJ at the Job Club in London’s Soho during the 90s, where he’d play alongside Claude Young, Derrick May, Dave Angel and Andrew Weatherall. After a few years he was picked as a resident for the legendary Heavenly Social, alongside the Chemical Brothers. It was during this time that he started Death in Vegas.

Across the six Death In Vegas albums, guest vocalists have included Dot Allison, Bobby Gillespie, Iggy Pop, Jim Reid from Jesus and Mary Chain and Mazzy Star’s Hope Sandoval.

‘The Contino Sessions’ was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize, and its single ‘Aisha’ was a top 10 hit in the UK. The title track from the album ‘Scorpio Rising’ reached 14 in the UK charts.

Death In Vegas performed their much-loved single ‘Dirge’ on Jools Hollandin 2000, then a quarter century later, in testament to its enduring appeal, the track was sampled by Celeste on her recent single ‘Everyday’.
