Mechagodzilla was formed in 1997 by young people aiming to make an horrific noise for a bit of a laugh. Their main influences were people unconvincingly dressed as monsters and loud fast things.
Over the years very little has changed, apart from the line-up and some grey hairs. Mechagodzilla tread the fine line between inspired art, and a celebration of stupidity - more often than not the line becomes quite blurred, which is all part of the idea.
The band members past and present have had quite a varied musical background, take a very open minded view of what music is, and why, then set about murdering it.
Several members past and present are ex-members of Narcosis, who have done some fast grindy stuff. Others are involved with Charger, who also have been around for a while, one is the member of Heskin Radiophonic Workshop, and yet another an ex-member of Mazey Fade - former Domino Records recording artistes, and veterans of three Peel Sessions.
Some of the bands Mechagodzilla have played with include Hard to Swallow, Kling Klang, Converge, Narcosis, American Heritage, StrayDogCafe, Iron Monkey, agaskodoteliverek, Bilge Pump, Tigers!, Tangaroa, John Holmes, Beecher, Threads, Cornthians and Mugstar. And shit loads more we can't remember.
