Welcome to our SOUNDCLICK music site. EPH3KT is a Los Angeles based "Synthcore-industrial" band.
Why this name?
We chose our name because I liked the design of it. Also that th word feels rather intangible, like Nitzer Ebb or Front242
Do you play live?
Yes we do. We've only played one show so far, and it was an amazing experience. We have had a few other offers recently, but because of scheduling conflicts we have been unable to do so. Nevertheless, we hope to start play more shows in the neat future.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It has flooded the gates of the media giants. While it may have been part of the reason that it has hurt the industry, it gave the "little guys" a chance to put thier music out there. I for one have enjoyed the last few years of listening to different MP3 radios stations and listening to raw unpolished music.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Certainly. Money makes the workd go round, and it gets the music out to the DJ's. I don;t think major club DJ's take your music seriously unless you are distributed by a label.
Band History:
EPHEKT had been around for a while, but wasn't fully realized until it got a lead singer -- Lila. I had already had many songs written without any lyrics in place. They just waited dormant till it could get a real vocalist on the tracks.

As soon as we completed one track with vocals, and uploaded it to the internet, we got noticed pretty quickly.
Your influences?
Front 242, Kraftwerk, Nitzer Ebb, Empirion, Adult, Swayzak, Luke Slater, Orbital, Prodigy, Miss Kittin & the Hacker, Fischerspooner, Human League, Ministry, Joy Division, Eurythmics, Donna Summer/Giorgio Moroder.
Favorite spot?
Disneyland with my wife.
Equipment used:
Cubase. With VST plugins & instruments: Battery, FM7, Kontact, Absynth, Mercury 1, etc
