A DJ at the big beat melting-pot the Sunday Social alongside the Chemical Brothers and Jon Carter, Richard Fearless formed a studio project named Death in Vegas to pump out a similar type of audio adrenaline. With the helping hand of Steve Hellier, Fearless spent two years working on material for an LP, then released Dead Elvis on Britain’s Concrete label in early 1997.

After it was licensed for American distribution, the single “Dirt” became a moderate MTV hit later that year. Fearless gained a new production partner (Tim Holmes) as well as a few celebrity guests (Iggy Pop, Bobby Gillespie) for 1999’s The Contino Sessions. Paul Weller, Hope Sandoval, and Oasis’ Liam Gallagher were on hand for 2002’s Scorpio Rising. Gallagher and the duo hit it off.
