Billy Corgan Chats With Patrik Mata, Whose Kommunity FK Appears On The Well

On a recent episode of The Magnificent Others, “Billy Corgan sits down with Kommunity FK frontman and goth pioneer Patrik Mata. In this rare, unguarded conversation, Patrik talks about his early fascination with Dadaism, surrealism, and David Bowie, arriving in Los Angeles in 1975 with fifty dollars and no plan, enduring hostile crowds, and turning down record deals on principle. Along the way, Billy and Patrik explore individuality, anti-art, creative innocence, and the real cost of originality…  There are artists who make the art—and then there are artists who are the art.” Enjoy the fascinating conversation here.

Kommunity FK is on Independent Project Records’ new compilation, The Well, with the track “Anti-Pop.” Get that track, and the rest of the compilation, on the air!
