About Me

an astounding entertainment experience...Spectralux was formed by Henry Watts, Nate Fackler and Peter Roets in Atlanta, 1998. Influenced by David Bowie, Pixies and Wire, the band took the stage with a handful of songs and homemade props from malfunctioning television sets (ABOUT 40) to dismembered mannequins performing up the East Coast with such acts as Melt Bananna from Japan, Jucifer from Athens and His Name Is Alive (see TOP ALBUM COVERS OF ALL TIME-Rolling Stone). The band recorded three independent releases and underwent a series of line-up changes including the addition of guitarist Jeff Cobb in 2002. Their 3rd studio album was recorded in East Atlanta. The sound of Spectralux was further expanded in the summer of 2005 with the addition of keyboardist Jonathan Whiteside. With 808 and 909 as a drummer and the help of Mike London, the band completed its 4th studio album in November 2005 under the direction of producer/engineer Kris Sampson. The self-titled album took a fresh, stylish approach to modern music with atmospheres and futuristic imagery that are uniquely Spectralux. 2006 brought the release of the album and the addition of veteran drummer Patrick Boggs. Soon thereafter, Stickfigure Distribution announced it would distribute spectralux. In 2007, the band began recording their 4th studio album under the direction of Engineer Joel Mullis of Fatback Sound Studio.The album should be ready for release by the fall of 2008 and will include a previously recorded and unreleased demo (Engineered by Bruce Butkovich) of "Deer of the Underground" and a version of "Majik Beach Motel" initially recorded by Bruce Butkovich. The album will be released in the Fall of 2008.
