Biography

While it seems implausible, Lords of Acid have not always been the mega-cool super cult we know and love. Yes, there was a time where they were not the bulwark of sex, substance, style, and nether-darkness. There were simpler, more innocent times …

Back in the primitive days of yore - somewhat after the waterwheel was brought to Europe, a uniquely gifted group of somehow different, yet fated, individuals were brought forth onto The Continent - as they called it then - by an unknowing group of parents.

Maurice Engelen, whom we all know better as Praga Khan, was born to a father who was a Noble winning mathematician and astrophysicist, with a penchant for absinthe, along with strange, skunky cigarettes. Yes, Mom was there, too! And what a mom! Praga’s mother was a rebel for her times and worked to support the family as a migrant construction worker.

Praga’s fascination with industrial sounds and rhythm laid its entwined roots in his early childhood while strapped to his mother’s back as she performed her welding work in buildings towering high above the earth, echoing with the sounds of jackhammers, big trucks burrowing, and the soulful singing of the workers. Its harkening thought today still brings tears to his eyes.

His father passed to his son his fascination with numbers and alternate realities. Praga notes being to many different worlds during his travels.

    Their debut album 'Lust' is a 90s acid house classic. Very sexy in a camp kind of way too. Love it!

    massive band, one of my biggest influences. new album sucks though, sounds a bit dumber than i expect. also, that mea girl may be extremely hot and not that bad behind the decks, but her voice is nothing compared to previous singers.

    Someone needs to fix the new album is not called Deeps Chills it is Deep Chills! The new CD is very hit and miss for me, I like half the songs, the other half are boring. To be fair I am not a huge fan though, this is my first real listen to them since high school almost 20 years ago. I prefer the other naughty bands like Bloodhound Gang and Steel Panther!
