Watts:

RAYMOND WATTS HAS PLAYED IN 30 COUNTRIES, BEEN AT VARIOUS TIMES HUGE IN JAPAN, AMERICA AND EUROPE, AND HAS SOLD A COMBINED TOTAL OF IN EXCESS OF A MILLION RECORDS, SO WHY THE FUCK HAVEN'T YOU HEARD OF HIM?

Raymond Watts has been known variously as Raymond Scaballero in Foetus , an icy addition to Psychic TV , a savage PA destroyer in Einsturzende Neubauten , and a founding member and vocalist of KMFDM .

In between KMFDM dates Raymond headed off to Japan forming 'SCHWEIN' (BMG records) which unexpectedly sold over 100,000 copies of the 1 st album in Japan alone.

This turned out to be a mixed blessing for Raymond whom then ended up having to stay in Tokyo for 6 months living in hotel rooms and becoming more and more dependent on drugs. By the Time he got back to England his Wife had left him and taken his house, which left him homeless and hopelessly depressed. It was in this atmosphere of chronic depression that Raymond and collaborator Eden started work on Raymond's long threatened 'Watts' project at Ranch Apocalypse studios London. After weeks of not sleeping, ingesting way too many drugs and a lot of Brandy, 'Pigmartyr' was finished.

'Watts' no.2 in command 'Eden' led a strange path into music. Aged 24 Eden was hit by a lorry, which broke his back and severed his arm. When Eden awoke in hospital he had absolutely no memory of any of his life before the accident. His family and friends gathered round to try and refresh his memory about his previous life, which to Eden sounded a little dull: 'It was bad enough loosing my memory without then realising that my life had been shit'. So Eden decided to use his experience as a positive one, and re-shape his life in a way that was more appealing. One piece of interesting information he was given by friends was that he was pretty handy in a fight situation, so he took an evening job as a doorman in a Soho strip joint. 6 months later Eden received a large compensation cheque from his accident, which he promptly spent on a complete recording studio set up. After three years minding strippers in the evening and learning the way round his studio in the day he ended up scoring a job as programmer for legendry producer Nellee Hooper. In the process he worked with the likes of Puff Daddy, Bjork and Gwen Stefani amongst others. 'Eden' also plays bass live for 'WATTS'
