fakir were one of the short living bands founded by richard kane. they released a 7" single limited to 100 copies at 99 records and performed very few times live.
kane rehearsed as a substitute drummer for sonic youth and eventually performed with them at the mudd club in july 1980. he's
most known as one of the members of the texas punk band the inhalants, which he drummed for during 1992 to 1994. he quit the band saying that he was too old and
drumming made his back hurt. he was and still is a full time history professor. in june 2006 he released a 40-minute set of original instrumental
tracks. that summer he performed the set in a series of live shows at a coffeehouse in austin.
