Patrik Mata formed the legendary American band Kommunity FK in Los Angeles in 1978. Mata is the sole founding visionary, composer, lyricist, musical arranger, vocalist/guitarist, and style chameleon. When Kommunity FK was first formed by Mata there was no such thing as Gothic music, industrial music and any other terms known by the music scene of today. His vision was new and his creation was raw.

First reviews of Kommunity FK were headlined with Patrik's quotes such as "Any noise that fits...". Kommunity FK's music was so artistic, so strong, so dark, yet so inspiring that the only term that even came around through the press to classify Mata's band and music was "gloom & doom" and "deathrock". Mata and Kommunity FK was heavily inspired by Surrealist artists the likes of Dali, Jean Cocteau, and David Bowie. Within one year of live performances (all booked and promoted by Mata himself) Kommunity FK had attracted world wide attention as well as a record label.

Kommunity FK has performed with: PiL Killing Joke Alien Sex Fiend Specimen The Jesus and Mary Chain Sex Gang Children Christian Death & Shadow Project Peter Murphy Nina Hagen Toys Dolls Lords Of The New Church Modern English Gun Club Nick Cave Gene Loves Jezebel Flesh For Lulu 45 Grave Lydia Lunch The Virgin Prunes Xmal Deutschland Clan Of Xymox and more legendary bands. With Mata's world wide following Kommunity FK is the most covered band for inspiring today's genre of gothic and industrial music. Artists such as Perry Farrell of Janes Addiction, Elijah Blue Allman (Cher's and Greg Allman's son) of Deadsy (Deadsy has covered and recorded numerous Kommunity FK songs such as 'No Fear', 'Bullets', 'Anti-Pop', and more), Jonathon Davis of Korn, Axl Rose of Guns N' Roses, and many others attribute Kommunity FK as one of their main influences. Author Brendan Mullen has written the biography of Jane's Addictionand Perry Farrell titled "Whores" (released in June of 2005), in which Patrik Mata of Kommunity FK is a fairly large part of, being mentioned several times throughout the book. ...show less
