Mechanised Convulsions is an Australian industrial Project based in Adelaide, created in 2002 by David K., who is the sole consistent member. The flavours musically in which the project covers, range from EBM to Rhythmic Noise elements. Dave in the past has also performed at festivals/gigs with artists such as Plague Sequence, Converter, Black Lung, Noistruct . The Crystalline Effect, Defused Fusion, and Mono No Aware.

Dave has collaborated with many other artists in projects, like Star Dot Exe, which is a Rhythmic Noise project consisting of stochastic noises, and is also preparing to focus on a Metal/Digital Hardcore/Industrial band going with the title of Stapled Soul.

The Mechanised Convulsions project (MechCon for short) formed in late 2001 as a hobby, due to Dave's interest and an acute passion in industrial music. The name derives from the way that some of us feel, with the routines we have in lives, some necessary, some unnecessary but we have to pursue nevertheless, and there are times where we just break out of those convulsions or even use them for self control at the end. Dave’s major influences are extremely broad, ranging from the more harsh-ebm acts like Suicide Commando, Combichrist, Terrorfakt, and Dulce Liquido, to the harshest of powernoise acts, like Converter, Iszoloscope, Mono No Aware, Winterkalte, Hypnoskull, the list goes on!

As time has progressed, and other influences have appeared in the scene worldwide, as well as noticing the lack-of of an industrial music scene in Adelaide, Dave has taken his sound to a different level to what it was at the beginning, with more advances on the tools used for the sounds, he has gotten to a level of music consisting of angry, distorted, industrial/powernoise rhythms, blended in with melodies and ear-bleeding noises, to deliver a mixture of emotions expressed through sound.

Dave has recently performed at Club Necromancy at Enigma Bar, Adelaide in September 30th 2006. This gig was his first hometown performance which proved to be a challenge due to the fact that the industrial music scene in Adelaide is minimal, to practically nil.

Prior to that, he has performed at the Distorted 2005 Electronic Music Festival in Melbourne last year, and for a first performance, was given a warm response at the end of his set, which gave him the determination to continue his hobby.
