Early in 1998, three young men were abducted from their respective homes in Portland, OR by an unidentified military group, and were transported to a remote facility in Slovenia. They were fed huge quantities of

experimental drugs, trained in the art of sonic mind control, and taught to generate/withstand levels of noise considered by most to be "brain-melting". It is believed that the organization responsible for this "Project Montgomery" intended to use the trio for evil. Fortunately, the three captives, now one unit of noisepower awesomeness, managed to escape and find their way back to the Americas, where they took refuge in the slums of outer South-East Portland. Armed with alien technology and driven to generate noise, by whatever means possible........ Rexella was born.

Jesus wept.

Rexella remained in hiding for a time, perfecting their powerful technique, but it was not long before Rexella began to use their unique brand of noise-torture, cleverly disguised as "techno music" to assault the people of Portland. Rexella began to attract a certain brand of like-minded individuals, and grew into the larger "Rexella Stupid Art Collective", focusing on a revolutionary method of visual art dubbed "Stupid Art". The collective set about facilitating the consciousness expansion of the masses.

For the safety of The Collective, security must remain high at public performances, and Rexella prefers to play underground (in basements), but will make an exception for a small cafe occasionally (as long as they have a back door). Rexella has also been known to surface in their homeland, the State of Jefferson from time to time. While public appearances are rare, Rexella keeps up contact with "the common people" via their extensive catalog of audio recordings.
