Biography

Founded in Graz in 2002, the members entered a temporary hiatus in 2005. However in the same year, they re-grouped and later signed to the Vienna-based indie label Siluh Records and released three full-length albums there.

Around 2015 the band went on a second hiatus and front singer Wolfgang Möstl worked out his solo act Mile Me Deaf to a three member band. This band is in sound similar to Killed by 9 Volt Batteries, though a bit less noisy. In Mile Me Deaf he is the lead singer and plays guitar and occasionally on a Home Swinger. In 2018 he scaled down this project to a solo act again with a more electronic output with samplers, drum computers and him on guitar and vocals. Möstl also plays guitar in the bands Sex Jams, and the sludge rockband Melt Downer. Möstl also plays guitar in the live band of Clara Luzia.

gollark: For one thing, it doesn't really work in many cases.
gollark: That's a horrible bodge which has all kinds of problems.
gollark: Being actually-simple is a design goal which I think is important, but this is not the way to do it, and I don't think it should be at the expense of useful features which improve readability. Like being able to ACTUALLY ABSTRACT THINGS.
gollark: Or RPNCalc v2.
gollark: Or lisp.
