Lockweld

Real Name:Steve Makita & Karen Thomas
Profile:Formed in 1993 after having dated for several years, Lockweld's Steve and Karen (now husband and wife) soon began boggling minds of those in the punk/hardcore scene which they'd grown out of. Many in this particular scene were drawn to the group because of Steve's membership in the band Apartment 213 and their friendship with Integrity frontman Dwid. Not many cared for what they heard though. They soon found friends and gained mass acceptance in the undergound industrial/harsh Nnoise scene. Getting praise from legendary artists and groups like Merzbow, Whitehouse, and Haters, The, after several vinyl singles, split releases, and appearances on compilations, their debut CD "All the Power" was released on California's Vinyl Communications label. They have since put out three other discs, including one on the popular Ground Fault Recordings label. A special thing about this band is that they use in their music power tools, machinery and weapons: real sounds that are later resampled, looped, processed and distorted with the use of an analog synth. It is impossible to guess what the group will do live. Past performances have generally used power tools such as sanders and grinders, but have also often included fire and large pieces of wood and metal.
Members:Karen Thomas, Steve Makita
