"I, Jinx Lennon, was born in Dundalk in 1964. The first
song I can remember that completed a fully fledged electrical
circuit in my head was "There goes my first love" by
the drifters. It left an indelible footprint in my mind at the
very edge of pre-pubescent misery / euphoria. After years of home
taping experiments and listening to dodgy rock bands I finally
felt sherbet fizz kinetic energy when I witnessed local Dundalk
band Meta 4 play the Imperial Hotel in early 86. Their ramshackle
majesty and couple of well chosen guitar cords, jet propelled
me along the conveyor belt to form a slew of local underground
bands that included Sneaky Pete and the Ostrich, Silver Seeds
and finally the Novena Babes. All outfits contained super decent
people but we mostly played it safe to the musical templates of
the time."
