| Real Name: | Robert Corradetti, Kaia Wong, Matthew Kaukeinen, Matthew Snee. | | Profile: | Mixel Pixel was officially born in Wilmington, Delaware, on Rob's 4 track. The year was 1998. Soon after beginning his home recordings, he met Matty Kaukeinen at the University of Delaware college radio station where the two found a common interest in The Doors, Frank Zappa, and other 60's psychedelic pop music. Matty began immediately lending his musical input to the Mixel Pixel tapes in the form of bass guitar and drums. In summer of 1999, the two friends moved from their house in Delaware to a tiny apartment in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Honing their live set for a whole year, they began playing shows in 2001 with the likes of fellow (weirdo) pop musicians, Quintron, Atom and His Package, and Cat Power.
By the end of 2005, Mixel Pixel had settled into their current incarnation as a touring 4 piece. Kaia Wong (keyboards, and vocals) first met Rob and Matty while she was playing violin in an industrial Goth band back in Delaware. Matt Snee (samples, beats) was Rob's childhood friend since the 2nd grade. While he often crafted beats and sounds for the band, he didn't officially join until 2005, upon relocating to the East Coast via San Francisco.
