Kommunity FK United States
Biography
Kommunity FK is a post-punk/gothic rock band that helped establish what came to be known as the deathrock scene in Los Angeles. The band was formed in 1978 by American rock singer Patrick Mata, who was influenced by musicians Throbbing Gristle, David Bowie and Joy Division as well as other artistic inspirations like Dadaism, anti-art, noise, musique concrète, and the Brion Gysin/William Burroughs cut-up technique. Though initially named "Kommunity Fuck", after a piece of paste-up art created by Mata, the moniker was soon shortened.
