Biography

Radio Massacre International comprises Steve Dinsdale (Keyboards, Electronics, Drums) Duncan Goddard (Keyboards, Electronics, Bass) and Gary Houghton (Guitar, Keyboards). Since 1993 they have been building a catalogue of epic electronic improvisations, distilled into permanent records by the wonders of digital editing.

After accumulating a library of 30 such pieces they finally released the double CD Frozen North in late 1995, and appeared live for the first time at the Emma festival in Sheffield. The band was also featured on the BBC’s World Service, thus finding a truly international radio audience for the first time. RMI had a website long before it was obligatory, and this has enabled the forging of relationships with listeners, promoters and radio stations across the world.

1996 saw them catapulted to European TV fame when they co-hosted the dance orientated ‘Party Zone’ on MTV, where they distinguished themselves by playing a live piece that did not contain a single discernible beat. The same month, they were the first electronic artists to play at England’s famous Jodrell Bank observatory, in the shadow of the mighty radio dish.

A second album of extended improvisations Republic and the live Knutsford In May were followed by the more concise Organ Harvest which was launched at the 1997 Klemdag festival in Nijmegen, Holland in front of the band’s largest live audience to date. This year also saw the initiation of a series of CDR private releases in order to keep pace with their prolific output.
