Influenced by a wide range of musical genres including psychedelic rock, electro, krautrock, dub and industrial, the band's sound is constantly in flux, moving between live acoustic and electronic sounds. The band was formed in 1994 by Fearless and Steve Helier and signed to Concrete Records under the name of Dead Elvis. Due to objections from the Elvis Presley estate, they were forced to change the name, and instead Dead Elvis became the name of their debut album. The music is sometimes energizing, sometimes soothing and always intense. Edgy electronics.

For their second album, The Contino Sessions, Death In Vegas invited some guests to do the vocals. Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream), Iggy Pop and Jim Reid (of The Jesus & Mary Chain) all appear on this brilliant album. Also singing both lead and backup vocals is Hope Sandoval from Mazzy Star. They have also featured Liam Gallagher, lead singer in the British rock n' roll band Oasis

Overall Meaning

Interpreting the lyrics of Death in Vegas's song GBH is a bit of a challenge as the words are fragmented and mostly incomprehensible. One can speculate that the song talks about a group of people who are high, and one person is encouraging the drummer to play some music while asking them to go out and get some food. The phrase "I hope you learn how to..." also appears a few times, suggesting that someone wants to teach or guide the group in some way.

The enigmatic phrase "The original king stuffing!" repeated a couple of times is curious. It could be a reference to a particular dish or a metaphor for something else. The lyrics that follow afterward are jumbled and difficult to decipher, but they appear to mention starvation and cannabis use.

Overall, the song's meaning remains ambiguous, and it's up to the listener to interpret the lyrics' cryptic nature.
