straglers
Straglers = Three piece band who fuse indie rock n' roll with dance beats, and are currently recording and gigging in Dublin. Straglers debut EP, 'Mister Medic', was released in 2006 and the band have already begun work on the next EP, and expect to have new material very soon.
'The best emerging Irish act. Great guitars, serious vocal, and all on top of a house tempo 4/4 drum loop.' - Connected
'Straglers act consists of fuzzy guitars backed by looped beats and bass, something that works very well in the right hands. Big things could happen for Straglers very quickly.' - In Dublin
'Straglers are dublin based rock n' rollers with serious things on their minds. Namely global domination. There are no pretensions here, just a hard working-class determination.' - Connected
'Transient and thought provoking. The bands music has an instant appeal.' - www.newmusicireland.com
'Very strong.' - XFM London
'Straglers can't be rushed in the pursuit of perfection. We'll wait.' - NME (November '06)
'The next Irish act to hit paydirt.' - Hotpress (November '06)
'Straglers are one of Ireland's biggest hopes for 2007. A uniquely engaging and truly unmissable act.' - www.entertainment.ie

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.
"Easy Music for Difficult Ears" is available from Road Records for 5 Euros and "Experiments in Dub and HiFi" is available as a free download from AlphabetSet.net.
When performing live (and in studio) Leigh prefers to use Reason 2.5, Cubase SX and sometimes his guitar.
