"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."
