Kitty Kosmonaut
Kitty Kosmonaut brings together two architects of the Texas electro-industrial underground: Dwayne Dassing and John Bustamante.
Dwayne co-founded Mentallo & The Fixer with his brother Gary in 1988, serving as "The Fixer" through the band's classic era, and before that helped build Benestrophe, whose albums Sensory Deprivation and Auric Fires came out on Ras Dva Records. He also records with vocalist Scott Berens as Reign of Roses, and rejoined Gary in the studio and on the road for Mentallo & The Fixer's 2025 U.S. tour. John co-founded Fektion Fekler with his brother Robert in San Antonio in 1989, supplying the distorted vocals across a run of releases on Pendragon Records and beyond.
The duo's self-titled debut was originally self-released in 2015. Re:Mission Entertainment reissued and distributed it in 2019 as RE004, and licensed it to Single Speed Tapes in Germany for a cassette edition. Kitty Kosmonaut has also appeared on the Re:Mission label compilations.
