LPX- Seventeen Launch Night

Despite the bitter cold night, a good crowd turned up for the launch of (The) LPX new e.p. entitled "Seventeen". Support on the night came from Yeh Deadlies and my band Brian Cullen's Love Bullets. The Yeh Deadlies kicked off the night with some blistering melodic tunes which really warmed the heart. Expect big things from them this year on the release of their new E.P. of which details will follow in a few weeks. They were followed by Brian Cullen's Love Bullets who I can't really review cos I'm their guitar player but suffice to say the crowd were lovely and really know their wrestling.

On to (The) LPX who provided the crowd with a good mix of old and new stuff from the EP "Seventeen".The quality and sheer volume of noise made by LPX is pretty incredible and really blew the crowd away. The EP itself is a huge departure from Experiments in Dub and Hifi and I strongly recommend that you check it out. The title track is available on his myspace and is a mix of beats and beautiful melodies which would make the heart soar.Leigh is famous around Dublin for his fantastic "Electric Fix" club which he ran for 2 years before moving off to Engerland to finish his education. this club is sadly missed around Dublin as it gave new bands a chance to cut their teeth to a regular crowd.

The tracklist from the EP is as follows:
1. Seventeen
2. Jake's Lament
3. Dimentia in Space and Time
4. When the God's punish me

Jake's Lament also features in the Stephen Cadwell/Beatrice Ni Bhroin film "Ne me quitte pas" which I'm sure will be displayed on the internet soon. You can view Stephen's other films here at Blathanna Pictures or on youtube and you can see some of Beatrice's work here. More on "ne me quitte pas" later tho.
