Welcome To The Official KOMMUNITY FK ©™ Website.
Kommunity FK/Patrik Mata appeared in the wake of the LA punk explosion, crossing genres
with a gloom
post punk sound that caught the beginnings of what would become known as gothic,
something that had already happened in the UK. not the typical Los Angeles style speed
rock, Kommunity FK was far dreamier, but just as raw. Crossing over ground known as
punk, deathrock, gothic, experimental, post punk, and synthesized art punk,
Kommunity FK had a dark vision all of it's own.
Kommunity FK is now officially back together and performing, and recording new material
in the same tradition as they always have since 1978.
The press keeps the legend of Patrik Mata's artisic vision of Kommunity FK out in the
world as time marches on in full International magazine articles on Mata and Kommunity FK
as well as the many published books about the L.A Scene's first magical days of anti-art,
deathrock, and punk. The Germs, Jane's Addiction, Axl Rose, and many other artists either performed
as band members with and/or were totally inspired by Patrik Mata himself.

This is Patriks most updated interview...New pictures and new details of Patrik/Kommunity FK's past & future!! Patrik tells all in the NEW LA Aftermath.Net interview...
Deathrock/GothPunk Ikon PATRIK MATA was recently interviewed by British author MIKEY BEANfor his soon-to-be-classic book called "PHANTOMS: THE RISE OF DEATHROCK FROM THE LA PUNK SCENE". This book will be the only detailed chronicle of how the original Deathrock movement began from the ashes of the LA Punk Rock scene dating back from 1979 to the present. KOMMUNITY FK was founded by Patrik Mata in 1978 becoming 1 of the Deathrock/GothikPunk movement's founders alongside other such greats as 45 Grave & Christian Death. Patrik spent several hours in Hollywood, California recently with Mikey discussing memories & sharing stories most of which will make for most probably the best account of the then incredible decade for original fashion statements, musical performances, & strange kamaraderies that are now known as the Deathrock genre. Read where it all began in this upcoming oracle extravaganza starring all of those that were there. More details on this book's publishing date as it develops....Keep checking back!

Patrik Mata of Kommunity FK was at the Henry Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles,
California on Friday, April 13, 2007 paying tribute to his long lost friend Rozz Williams.
Patrik was given tickets/VIP passes by Eva O and Rikk Agnew.
Patrik's record
label Invisible Records agreed that Patrik should be a part of the 10-year memory of Rozz and supported
Patrik on his appearance in Los Angeles.
Surviving members of Rozz William's Christian Death first full length recording
"Only Theatre of Pain" reunited as CHRISTIAN DEATH 1334 and performed the album in its entirety.
It only seems like yesterday that Patrik Mata and Sherry Rubber were in the middle of a Kommunity FK
rehearsal based in Hollywood when the phone rang and they were told the tragic news Rozz had left us.
Patrik was honored to be a speaker at Rozz's memorial held at the El Rey Theater.
To this day we here
at the Kommunity Fk Kontingent all miss Rozz very
much and hope he is creatively happy in a better place.
Pictured here is Patrik Mata receiving his copy of Ed Colver's new publication backstage at the
Christian Death 1334 show just after Patrik got off stage reminding the fans why all were gathered.
The new book by Mr. Colver not only was premiered in Hollywood, but is now on Madison Avenue in N.Y.C.
Within it's pages not only will you find a classik photo of Patrik, but within the discography section
you will find both Patrik Mata and Sherry Rubber's seperate former projects listed as well.

During KOMMUNITY FK'S time in Los Angeles preparing for their two live shows in June 2007 Patrik Mata and Sherry Rubber were graciously given another wonderful endorsement. This endorsement is a very special one due to the fact it is with the one and only APE LEATHER.
Patrik has known Ellen (Founder and CEO of Ape Leather) for many years. Sherry and Patrik used to sell Ellen's product out of a specialty boutique on Melrose. Patrik learned of the endorsement possibility before Kommunity FK arrived in Los Angeles.
It was a wonderful time meeting with Ellen at the APE LEATHER Headquarters.
Both Sherry and Patrik give their thanks to Ellen for providing her top quality craftmanship to the guitar straps that now dawn Patrik's vintage Vox Tear Drop and Sherry's killer Custom Black Beauty Les Paul...

KOMMUNITY FK's mainman PATRIK MATA has been writing his
autobiography/memoirs for an upcoming book publication.
He has been told by
many of his closest colleagues and associates to do this for years now and
has finally decided to go for it. This most promising book will include his
early days as a daydreaming 3rd grader in a Catholic school hearing British
Invasion rock for the first time, to his Glitter Kid days of being "reborn"
from hearing BOWIE for the first time, to his being handed the "Factory
Sample: Not For Sale" copy of "Anarchy in the UK" BY tHE sEx pIsTolS when
they were on EMI from then Malcolm McMclaren Rep. RORY JOHNSON.
The book,
PATRIK claims, "will be one of personal and, at times, even questionable
experiences, exposed for the first time from being buried quite deep in my
Soul's TRUTH." The book will also include some never-seen-before
photographs taken during several musical periods in his life to also having
an accompanying CD of trax of songs self-penned by PATRIK MATA that have
never seen any kind of release until now.
A few of these trax will include
some of his very first ever songs with just himself and an acoustic 12
string guitar to 2 trax PATRIK recorded that were mixed and produced by KEN
SCOTT(producer of the best first 5 most influential BOWIE classic lps), from
back in 1975!
The photo shown is a 'sneak peak' that Patrik has released. The photo was taken
by Mark Sullivan backstage at the Whiskey-A-Go-Go in Hollywood, California.
Patrik
is seen here hanging out with (from left to right) Rodney On The Roq, Blondie's Debora
Harry, and Patrik Mata-YUMMY!! The year is an early 1976 when Blondie just played their
debut show in Los Angeles.
