LPX:



LPX according to Blogorrah.com
1. LPX is Kildare man Leigh O'Gorman. Wait - is it LPX or The LPX? We're not that sure about the whole definitive article thing - he uses it himself occasionally on MySpace, but no one else seems to. Frankly, we're not cool enough to know right from wrong here - we work on the interweb. And there's nowt cool about that.
2. LPX specialises in brooding punk infused experimental electronica, as heard on two recent (and highly recommended) releases, Experiments in Dub and HiFi and Easy Music for Difficult Ears.
3. If you want something done right, do it yourself. That's Leigh all over. On LPX releases he provides the (occasional) vocals, the programming, the production AND plays all the instruments. Maybe he's just shy.
4. Leigh is also the man behind The Electric Fix, a musical collective running gigs around Dublin. Get your fix HERE.
5. Leigh says his music sounds like "a bunch of nerds in a small room dropping acid". Sounds like a Blogorrah production meeting. Well, except for the 'dropping acid' bit.





'One man air punching' Aural assault via verbal and sound sha'ttack, this Electric Fixer is known for his abrasive and commanding shows, expect dubby sounds and synth growls by way of you (f)ears.



LPX (formerly 'lube: Project_X'), consists of just Leigh O'Gorman. Born in Kildare 1981, he has been creating electronic and dub music and has been performing in the area of sound engineering, production, and computer music for approximately four years now. In the summer of 2003, he wrote and performed the soundtrack for the short feature "15 Minutes" which was directed by Liam Geraghty and starred Ross McMahon), whilst in January 2004, he performed live for the first time, supporting Friction=Fire and Pilot Stars.
In April 2005, Leigh created The Electric Fix - a collective of artists, musicians and alternativist people which was officially launched on the June bank holiday weekend.
When performing live (and in studio) Leigh prefers to use Reason 2.5, Cubase SX and his brain. His official website is here, but you can also catch regular updates at www.myspace.com/lpxireland. He has samples of his music online, so please don't hesitate to check it out!

Jezery:



Here's the official blurbness:


Jezery began in January 2005, when four friends with overlapping but
individual tastes in music, and experiences with bands, started putting
songs together. After solid months of jam making, the jam became a gel-like
substance, and Jezery tentatively stepped onto stages. Rubbish gigs came and
went with plenty of lessons learnt along the way. By November 2005 they must
have started to do some things right, because Tenpastseven (Out On A Limb
Records) asked them to play support on an Irish tour. This experience was a
great education in live performance, and exposed them to audiences outside
their home-town of Cork. That same month they recorded a cd called " Be Wide
" . It introduces a band still in early development, but with a lot of the
fundamentals of their sound in evidence. They continued writing material and
gigging extensively throughout 2006, building a strong fan base, especially
in Cork, Kerry and Galway. They became a much more engaging, confident and
exciting live band during this period, and word of mouth has ensured wide
recognition in Irish music circles. In February 2007 they ventured to the
studio again to record their second ep, " Six Sided Clothes", launching it
with gigs in Cork, Galway, Limerick and Tralee. This is an altogether more
coherent record, with a much different sound.



However, I think what these guys post in their blogs is much more interesting. Check em out, here's a sample….



The State of The Union
Category: Music

Each evening now, as dusk settles like light ashen invisible snow, and the sky becomes layered with pink and orange and purple, the Jezery soldiers enter their steel box of damp and amplifiers, to wage war on the very notion that progress should be halted.

Shane O Leary pictured below, has been heard to say, regarding the new tunes in present concoction, " That sounds class " or " Yeah, it's getting there " during intermittent short spells when he is not either talking to, or giving out to himself. He is well, he understands Indian cuisine, he's got nice hair, and his well of good ideas for songs knows no end. Recent rants include a pre-occupation with the situation in the Middle East and the health service crisis. " Iraq shouldn't even be fighting Israel and the IRA and Lebanon" and " If we put Silverchair in charge of health, it'd be grand". Wise words indeed, look upon his giddy little face.



Ted Murphy, Prince of Aherla, pictured in his home studio below, has thrown himself hips and shins into recording equipment and techniques since purchasing a high-powered taser gun for self-defence, and a high-powered calculator doctored to enable recordings to take place. Note his unrelenting eyeballs.


His gorgeous arms are still the source of some confusing teenage homo-erotic high-powered guilt-lust feelings amongst the other Jezerees, but Ted shocks us back into reality with his gut wrenching drummings and a sense of rhythm unparalleled in this dimension. "Gimme a light" and " Fuck sake " were Ted's first impressions of the new material, but his latest angry outburst of " Yeah that's cool " stunned many observers into a re-think on whether Ted is the right man to lead the Irish Republic when the present administration departs.

Jimmy Lyons, pictured here after a few too many coffee's (!) Notice the dementia stains around the edge of the photo.


is about to enter rehab for a fourth time in a bid to wean himself off the caffeine satan liquid. After being recently photographed engaged in an embarassing menage a trois with a rusty old boot and a rather handsome young soap dispenser, a calamity that came about because of " sociological pressures on my present sense of equilibrium", Lyons has been shunned in musical circles for being full of disgusting lies, and a question mark now hangs over his oftentimes precarious relationship with sanity. Describing Jezery's new songs as " it got stuck up my nose, so I kinda like, forced myself to sneeze" have caused no end of unease and trepidation in some quarters.

Shane O Sullivan, famed guitar cleric, recently spoke of his pleasure in playing with Jezery, " The new songs are coming along fine, I just need to adjust my hair accordingly, with these new songs, the band is changing again, and I demand from my team of stylists that my hair should reflect that. " he shouted calmly into our reporter's face.


Sullivan was just as candid when asked about his quest to educate the young guitarists of today. " When I've got the guitar on my back, striding through jungles and hinterland with only my pack of lethally trained wolves to protect me, that's a buzz, that's when I feel alive man. I dazzle the students with my technique, answer all their questions about life with unbelievable foresight and wisdom, and then jump back on my horse." So true.

So there you have it, an insight into what's REALLY going on with Jezery, a pop group always shifting, shifting like the sands of a shifty sandy desert, always moving, yet, still, somehow, staying in the same place, always evolving, yet, still, somehow, holding onto their roots, always, yet, still, somehow. As Ted would say, " That's all folks ". How right he is.

Mugger Dave:



Formed in Jan 2007, Mugger Dave consists of Simon Noble ( Guitar/Vocals ), Seán Herriott (Bass/Secondary Vocals ) and Níall Curran (Drums). Mugger Dave came to be when Simon headhunted musicians for a new band. Once informed of his workmates drumming talents, he enlisted the barman and his flatmate/bassist Seán. The name Mugger Dave comes from Simons childhood when his younger sister had 2 imaginary friends; "Mugger Dave and Girlie No.1". Simon took this as his band name 15 years later on but dropped "Girlie" as it was a bit too long. (We also couldn't decide who would be Girlie No.1 and where the rest of the Girlies had gone). With the band formed they quickly took to practising in Níalls house, using songs previously written by Simon. Now the band are churning out song after song for your entertainment. Listen hard and listen well.
